FOREWORD 



^J|T WOULD be perhaps in better taste to entitle the account 
of the 350th Infantry contained within these covers a 
"sketch" rather than a "history." To faithfully set forth 
a thoroughly detailed and comprehensive report of the experi- 
ences of a regiment through nearly two years of the constant 
changes and strenuous activities incident to campaign would 
require a descending into particulars which a lack of data renders 
impracticable. The attempt has been made here to summarize 
only: may the reader bear this in mind and temper his criticisms 
in accordance. 

In the preparation of this volume important assistance has 
been given by the Company Commanders and their clerks in the 
compilation of the rosters and home addresses; by Captains Neil 
M. Cronin and William A. Augur through many courtesies ex- 
tended in providing access to the regimental records; by Sergeants 
Major E. S. Howes and Frank Bagley in this same regard; by 
Lieutenants Warren S. Jamar, John A. Robel and Floyd H. 
Gilliland in the supplying of many of the photographs; by Lieu- 
tenant Francis C. Fitzgerald in furnishing considerable data not 
to be found in the official records; by Lieutenant Frank S. Perkins, 
in permitting the use of his personal photographs of officers who 
were not in the group picture; by Captain Minor F. Wasson, who 
examined the original manuscript; and by Colonel James A. Lynch 
and Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray who have given the undertaking 
their good will and continued support. 

This book is submitted, then, with full cognizance of its 
many shortcomings but with faith in the indulgence of those for 
whose benefit it is intended, who, as critics, will find it easy to 
detect faults, yet, at the same time, can duly appreciate difficulties

E^t 350tlj at ®amp iSnli^^ 

EPTEMBER 1, 1917, four months and twenty-tour 
days after the declaration of War by the United 
States on Germany, the 350th U. S. Infantry 
Regiment, as a unit of the Eighty-eighth National 
Army Division, began to function at Camp Dodge, 
Iowa, in the Federal vService. 

Surveying the early records of the Regiment, it may l)e 
learned that from September 1st to September 5, 1917, the 
personnel of the 350th Infantry was made up entirely of Com- 
missioned Officers, who began arriving at the new camp during 
the late days of August. The first Commanding C)fficer of the 
Regiment was Colonel Charles W. Castle, from the Regular 
Army. The first Lieutenant Colonel was Rush S. Wells, also 
from the Regular Army, while the original Battalion Com- 
manders were Major Horace N. Munroe, Regular Army, 2d 
Battalion and Major Joseph A. Storch, U. S. Reserve, 3d Bat- 
talion. For several months the 1st Battalion's Commanding 
Ofifiicer was Lt. Colonel Wells, who acted as such in the absence of 
a third regularly assigned A-Iajor. The Commissioned personnel 
below the rank of Major was drawn in the beginning from the 
graduates of the first Ofiicers' Training Camp, Fort Snelling, 
Minnesota. In the shifting currents of the war it so devolved 
that at the time of demobilization not one of the early Field 
Officers of the organization remained upon its rolls. 




24 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 

Tlic piont'cr coiilingcnl of the first National Army draft. 
September 5, 1917. supplied the fifteen companies of the 350th 
with an average of twenty-three men each. In advance of these 
there arrived, from numerous regular army outfits, enough sea- 
soned non-commissioned officers to be proportioned through the 
Regiment on a basis of about two per company. The value of 
these regular Army Corporals and Sergeants in building up the 
strucUire of the organization, and their assistance to the numbers 
of inexperienced Commissioned Officers during the recruit period 
of the Regiment, and afterward, can hardly be over-estimated. 
With their help the training of the first few conscripts was at 
once carried on, and by the time the next large contingent was 
mustered in these men had become, in many instances, non-com- 
missioned officers themselves, and were of great aid in caring for 
the new quota. 

In common with its fellow units of the 88th Division the 
missiiin of the 350th in the war appeared for many months to 
be that of a training corps for draft increments. Of the 50,000 
or so recruits which were mustered into the Division, trained 
at Dodge, and passed on to other outfits about to go overseas 
the Regiment handled its share. During the midst of this ac- 
tivity Colonel Castle was relieved from Command of the Regi- 
ment, and was succeeded by Colonel Harrison J. Price, who was 
also a Regular Army Officer. 

'i he process of receiving, training and sending men away 
continued through the early fall, but the influx exceeded the 
exodus until November 19th. On this date 1,225 enlisted men 
from the 350th were transferred to Camp Pike, Arkansas. There 
remained then to the Regiment, after this loss, an enlisted 
average once more of only twenty-five men per company, most 
of whom were non-commissioned officers retained to form a 
nucleus for the structure to be built again. With the advent of 
cold weather draft movements to the northern cantonments were 
suspended, and thus it evolved that through the months of 
November, December, January and February the larva, so to 
speak, of the Ultimate 350th Infantry restlessly slumbered in 
its cocoon. 

This winter-bound period was devoted to indoor instruction 
for both officers and men. Each day classes followed each other

rapidly and regularly. In the 
absence of sufficient privates 
the newly made non-commis- 
sioned officers were needed to 
walk post, an experience they 
had tested but lightly when 
they themselves were privates. 
As a result of this intensive 
program of training, when the 
next movement of recruits 

began each company found it- Regimental Headquarters, Camp Dodge 

self equipped with a non-com- 
missioned personnel confident of itself and extremely capable. 
The new draft contingent began arriving at Dodge February 
28th. By March 3d the Regiment's enlisted strength averaged 
160 men per company. Of these many were later transferred, 
but thirty per cent remained permanently with the organization. 

Briefly to say that from this time on the hard work never 
ceased must describe the course of events up to the time of pre- 
paring to sail. The severe schedule of training which the re- 
cruits were called upon to go through in order to reach over- 
sea standards, and their remarkable spirit and stamina in ac- 
complishing, within a very limited time, all that was asked of 
them was without precedent before this war. At length, early in 
May, the second draft filled the companies to their war strength 
of two hundred and fifty men. 

Definite assurance that the 88th Division was due to go 
across was not had generally through the Regiment until July. 
On the 25th of that month an advance party from the 350th 
sailed for France with parties from other units of the Division 
to attend Army schools abroad and prepare the way for the com- 
ing of the main body. August 4, 1918, the Regiment proper set 
forth upon the first stage of its journey, proceeding by train 
to Camp Upton, New York. Several train sections were required 
to transport the troops, and their departure was eff'ected in the 
following manner : 

Regimental Headquarters and the Band were the first to 
entrain, leaving at 11 A. M. The balance of the Regiment, 
with the exception of the Machine Gun Company and the Sup-

ply Company. entraiiK'd by sections of two companies each. 
Companies A and H went aboard at 12:00 noon. Companies C 
and D entrained at 2:00 P. ^T. Companies G and H. on 
August 5th. left at 11:00 A. M.; comjjanies I and K at 12:00 
noon; Machine Gun Company at 10:00 A. ^I. ; companies L and 
and M at 1 :00 P.M.. and the Snp])ly Company at 2:00 P.M. 

The several train sections took divergent routes. I'^egi- 
mental Headquarters. Headquarters Company and the Band 
went by way of Waterloo. l)ul)U(|ue, Chicago, Detroit, St. 
'I'homas and Buffalo to Weehawken. From Weehawken they 
ferried to Long Island City, and from there went on by train 
to Upton. They paraded enroute in Utica, N. Y.. and at Ra- 
vena, N. Y.. enjoyed a swim in the Htidson River; here addi- 
tional entertainment was provided by the people of Ravena 
in the form of an automobile ride to Albany and back. 

Companies A and B went by way of Chicago. Toledo. O., 
Cleveland, Bufil'alo and West Point to Weehawken. There they 
went aboard a ferry at noon of the 6th. waited until evening for 
other troops \vhich were to cross with them, j^ulled over to Long 
Island city and from there proceeded by train to Upton, arriving 
at 9:00 P. M. 

Companies E and F passed through Marshalltown. Iowa, 
Chicago, Marion. Ind., Salamanca. N. Y., and Binghaniton,. 
N. Y. to Jersey City ; from there by ferry to Long Island City, 
and on to Upton by train. They jjaraded at Marion and Sala- 
manca, and bathed at Salamanca in the Allegheny River. 

Companies G and II were routed through Marshalltown. 
Dubuque. Chicago, Detroit, Syracuse, Rochester, Utica , Ravena 
and New York City to Jersey City ; by ferry to Long Island City 
and by train to Upton. They paraded at Syracuse, Detroit and 
Ravena, and they bathed at Ravena in the Hudson River. 
There also the ladies of the Red Cross from Albany and Ra- 
vena entertained the troops with an outdoor luncheon. 

Companies I and K went by way of Chicago. Cleveland. 
Bufifalo and All)any to Hoboken. They detrained near Cleve- 
land and bathed in Lake Erie, proceeding from there by train 
and ferry to Upton. 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 27 



Companies L and M went through Ames, Chnton, Chicago, 
Ft. Wayne, Cleveland, Buffalo, Elmira, Binghamton and Scran- 
ton to Hoboken ; by ferry and train to Upton. They were served 
with refreshments at Cleveland and Binghamton by the Red 
Cross, bathed in Lake Erie, near Cleveland, and paraded at 
Elmira. 

The ]\Iachine Gun Company travelled with the Division 
Headquarters section, going by way of Savanna, Chicago, South 
Bend, Port Huron, A/Iich., Niagara Falls and Wilkes-Barre to 
Hoboken, ferrying to Long Island City and taking train to Up- 
ton. They got out for a swim in the Susquehanna River and 
paraded at Wilkes-Barre. 

The Supplv Company passed through Chicago, Huntington, 
Ind., Canton, C)., and Salamanca enroute to Upton. They bathed 
at a Chicago Park, and exercised at Canton and Salamanca, 
where they were fed by the Red Cross. 

The journey of Companies C and D to Upton may be des- 
cribed in detail as being typical of the experiences of all the sec- 
tions in the trip across the States. Their section passed through 
the cities of Ames, Marshalltown, Clinton, Chicago, Ft. Wayne, 
Ind., Cleveland, Buffalo, and Scranton, Pa., to Hoboken. The 
train was stopped to let the men bathe near Cleveland, on the 
evening of the 5th, at a point where the high railroad embankment 
skirts the shore of Lake Erie. The night was very warm and 
dark save for a clouded moon. All on board undressed in the 
coaches and slid down the cinders and rocks to the water in their 
bare skins. Everybody lost his soap in the lake, and then in shin- 
ning up the bank again each naked bather picked up enough dirt 
and bruises to make him wish he never had seen Lake Erie. At 
Buffalo, N. Y., two automobile loads of Red Cross girls met the 

train in the yards and distrib- 
uted cigarettes and confec- 
tions through every car. The 
evening of the 6th the train 
stopped for ice at Scranton, 
Pa., and here a large crowd 
met the soldiers at the station

(letrainnier.t was made al llohoken August 7th. at 5:00 A. M. 
The troops were imniechately marched al)oard a harl)or ferrv, 
and at seven o'clock were steaming around Battery Park in a 
heavy fog which concealed all hut the nearest sky-scrapers of 
lower \ew York. Disembarking at Long Island City they con- 
tinued by train to Upton. 

At this camj) the Regiment reassembled for what prox'ed to be 
four feverishly intensive days of preparation before the star*- 
acroGs the Atlantic.

^p^^^<!^ T Camp Upton, under a sun which beat through the 
barracks' roofs by day and left the arid sands to 
simmer all the night the troops were kept hurrying 
from one place to another drawing their equip- 
ment and being checked. The Personnel Adjutant 
the Company Administration Officers and the clerks toiled with- 
out sleep on service records and the embarkation lists. When 
these lists were completed they were tried out on the men, wdio 
were to be seen practising at all hours to go aboard ship, filing 
past a simulated Embarkation Officer, again and again, and shout- 
ing into his ear their first, middle and last names and rank. 

C)n the evening of August 10th. at nine o'clock, the Regi- 
ment began entraining for the transports. The troops proceeded 
from Upton by train sections to Long Island City. At seven 
o'clock the morning of the 11th. Regimental Headquarters; the 
1st Battalion, with E and F Companies of the 2d Battalion; the 
Medical Detachment; and the Headquarters. Machine Gun and 
Supply Companies went aboard a ferry which bore them through 
a harbor thronged with freighters, coalers, tugs, and myriad fish- 
ing craft to Brooklyn Pier No. 29. Here they went aboard t\v2 
British transport H.M.S. Delta. No. 640. and weighed anchor 
at 2:00 P. M. The 3d Battalion, w^ith Company G, havii'.g fol- 
lowed the first section from Camp Upton Avent aboard the trans- 
port H.M.S. Kashmir August 15th, and sailed at 2:00 P.M. 
Company H embarked on the transport H.M.S. Messanabie, and 
sailed the 16th.

( )n leaving the ])iers the 
loaded transports steamed out 
tlir()Ui,di New York Harbor 
and fornu'd into convoys as 
they turned into the sea. Un- 
der the ])rotection of Ameri- 
can and J^ritish cruisers and 
destroyers at their sides and 
air-craft over-head they then 
forged slowly out upon the 
long journey. Following a northern course and steaming at a 
rate of ten knots per hour under their heavy burdens the voyage 
consumed fourteen days and nights. August 25th the Delta 
warped into the docks at Tillbury-on-Thames, England, and be- 
gan disembarking her troops at 12:15 P. M. The Kashmir, sail- 
ing in a different convoy, went into port at Liverpool August 
28th, and disembarked her troops at 3 :30 P. M. Company H, on 
the Messanabie, arrived at Liverpool in the same convoy with 
the Kashmir. 

From the docks the elements of the Regiment thus separated 
proceeded to Rest Camps, where they were bathed and in some 
cases fed. The troops from the Delta w^ent by rail to Romsey, 
England, where they were quartered, under American Adminis- 
tration, at Camp Woodly, one and one-half miles from Romsey. 
The 3d Battalion and Company 
G of the 2d Battalion entrained 
for Winchester and marched from 
there to Winnalldown. 

Company H marched to Knotty 
Ash, a rest camp near Liverpool, 
and from there went by train to 
Southampton. 

The English Channel now re- 
mained as the final barrier before 
the theatre of the Great Adven- 




ture.

HREE days and nights were spent in England. On 
the morning of August 28th Regimental Head- 
quarters, the 1st Battalion with E and F Com- 
panies of the 2d Battalion, the Medical Detach- 
ment and the Headquarters. Machine Gun, and 
Supply Companies marched from Romsey to Southampton, 
and that night crossed the Channel on the Maid of Orleans. 
Landing at Cherhourg, France, at seven A. M. August 29th, 
they were marched from the docks to another British rest camp 
at Tourleville. five miles away. The 3d Battalion crossed the 
Channel on the night of August 31st, sailing from Southamp- 
ton and also landing at Cherbourg. They were followed by H 
Company and both detachments continued in their turn to 
Tourleville. 

Two days later a move to the 21st Training x^rea was be- 
gun by rail from Cherbourg. Entraining in the usual way, by 
sections, a journey of 200 kilometers across country brought the 
Regiment to Semur, a village in the Departement of Cote d'Or, 
where Division Headquarters had already been established. The 
first section to arrive detrained September 3d, followed in the 
next twenty-four hours by the last. In conformance with the 
French custom then the Regiment was split up among the small 
towns of the area and billeted. Regimental Headquarters and 
the Headquarters Company went to Vic de Chassenay. The 1st 
battalion was divided among three towns : Torcy, Toutry and

people presented itself. They 
seemed to worship the Ameri- 
can soldiers. The language diffi- 
culty was omnipresent, yet, at 
the same time, it provided a 
source of good natured amusement to both the villagers and the 
troops. Here the soldiers learned their first lessons in barn-loft 
insomnia, and in the psycholog}' of the cootie. 

Two weeks were spent now in rigorous close-order drill, 
trench digging, bayonet fighting and on the principles of ex- 
tended order. On the morning of September 17th orders were 
received requiring the movement of the Regiment from the 21st 
to the 7th Training Area. Coming in by foot from the various 
villages the units rendezvoused at Les Laumes, a rail-head, and 
were taken from there by train to Hericourt, in the Belfort dis- 
trict, near the Swiss Border. Then, 
separating again, Regimental Head- 
quarters, the 1st Battalion, Com- 
pany I, the Headquarters Company, 
and the Supply Company proceeded 
to Chagey; the 3d Battalion went 
to Echenans, and the 2d Battalion 
with the Machine Gun Company 
marched to Brevilliers. 

The 350th had hardly become 
settled once more when a wave of 
influenza swept through the entire 
command, weakening every organ- 
ization in it, and claiming in a 
period of less than two weeks a 
total of seventy-three lives.

The 7th Area was but a short distance back of the front 
hnes, and with the knowledge that the Regiment would soon go 
in, the training pressure reached its maximum intensity. German 
planes frequently came over the drill grounds, and the sound of 
artillery activity along the front was at all times clearly audible. 
Much target practice was now engaged in by all troops, with all 
arms. Problems in attacking machine gun strongpoints were 
emphasized, together with instruction in throwing hand grenades, 
gas defense, use of signal flares, and so on. Such was the sched- 
ule for the companies, and during this period the Battalion In- 
telligence platoons were assembled at the village of Vyans to 
undergo a course of instruction in maps, sniping, scouting, ob- 
serving and night patrolling.

■.q (^'f{)]jjr[;^ jg^^ QJ-, |-i-,g receipt of a warning order 
that the 350th would soon move up into the Haute- 
Alsace sector, the Intelhgence Officers of the 1st 
and 2d BattaHons and an advance detachment 
of two Officers and one hundred men each from 
the 1st and 2d Battahons were sent into the lines ahead of the 
Regiment to reconnoiter the sector and prepare to act as guides 
during the relief of the French. These Officers and men were 
infiltrated among the French troops, went on patrols with them, 
studied their system of defense and acquainted themselves with 
the general lay of the land. Thus, when the first companies of 
the Regiment to enter the sector came up on the night of the 
7th of October, the advance detachment had the situation in 
hand, and the relief of the French Battalion was carried out 
more smoothly than otherwise would have been possible. 

The main body of the Regiment left the 7th Area October 
5th, and after a night march took up a position in reserve di- 
rectly behind the Gildwiller-Balschwiller centers of resistance. 
It was billeted here in the following towns : Regimental Head- 
cjuarters, Headc[uarters Company, with Company B of the 313th 
Field Signal Battalion, at Brechaumont. First Battalion, with 
Company D of the 338th Machine Gun Battalion at Guevenatten. 
Second Battalion, with Company B, 338th Machine Gun Bat- 
talion at Traubach-le-Bas. Third Battalion, with the 350t:h Ma- 
chine Gun Company at St. Cosme. The Supply Company went 
to Reppe. 

On the night of the 7th-8th of October the 1st and 2d Bat- 
talions each sent two companies into the front lines to effect

and the 2d at Buethwiller, C.

A and C reheved the front 
hne companies oi the 49th 
Battah'on of Chasseurs-a-I'ied 
in the 1st Battalion sector, completing the relief at 12:45 
A. M., 8th October. Companies H and F relieved the front line 
companies of the 69th Battalion of Alpine Chasseurs in the 2d 
Battalion sector, reporting the relief complete at 12:00 midnight. 
The 3d Battalion remained at St. Cosme in reserve. These re- 
liefs, while technically complete, were not so literally, however, 
since the French troops remained with the Americans for sev- 
eral days after to aid in familiarizing them with the sector. 

The tour of Companies A and C in the trenches was not 
marked by more than the normal amount of shelling. Thev im- 
mediately set about repairing the badly deteriorated revetmen.ts 
which had been allowed to decay throughout the sector, and at 
night their men were used in comliat patrols which were sent out 
to gain control of No Man's Land. On the night of the 11th- 
12th of October they were relieved by Compaines B and D. 
Companies E and F had a similar ex- 
perience in the 2d Battalion sector, and 
were relieved in the night of October 
11th- 12th by Companies G and H. The 
next night, however, both E and F were 
called upon to return for the purpose of 
digging a communication trench in ad- 
vance of the front line toward the Boche 
village of Enschingen, in preparation for 
an attack to push forward the American 
line. It so happened that on this night 
the Boche, having apparently received 
information of the plans of the Ameri- 
cans, were launching a raid of their own 
against the 2d Battalion sector.

As the working party com- 
posed of Companies E and F 
were marching up after night- 
fall from Traubach-le-Bas the 
raiders' preparatory barrage 
of high explosives came down 
upon them. The bombard- 
ment lasted with great inten- 
sity for fifty minutes. E Com- 
pany had temporarily lost its 

way in the darkness and thus escaped the shelling, but F Com- 
pany was caught in a column of squads while yet on the main 
road going up and suffered a number of casualties. The Boche 
raiding party of some two hundred men followed their barrage 
over. Before reaching the American lines they captured Cap- 
tains Orren E. Safford of Company G and Henry A. House of 
Company E, with eight enlisted men, who had preceded the 
working party into No Man's Land to tape out the trace of the 
new trench. They were caught before they could get out of a 
deserted dugout into which they had gone for shelter during 
the heat of the bombardment. The raiders then continued a 
short distance farther toward the edge of the woods which 
marked their objective, but here they were met by fire from 
Companies G and H/ whose men stuck pluckily at their posts 
throughout the shelling, and they quickly dispersed. During the 
progress of this raid Captain Peter V. Brethorst, Co. F, Sergeant 
J. .V. Hora, Privates Fred G. Ekstrom and Clinton F. Leasan, Co. 
F, and Privates Willie LeRoy, Fred R. Cresswell and Pat Mor- 
ris, Co. G, received wotmds from shell-fire which resulted in their 

deaths. One officer and four 
enlisted men were awarded 
the Croix de Guerre by the 
French for exceptionally gal- 
lant conduct under fire dur- 
ing the action.

was ordered hy the French 
1 leadquarters to be at once 
carried on. This project neces- 
sitated driving out the Ger- 
mans, whose front lines 
passed through these towns. 
The attack was Lo be launched by the American troops in col- 
laboration with the French. Two hours before dawn, on the 
night of October 14th- 15th, the 2d Platoon of Company D, in 
the 1st Battalion sector, penetrated into Ammertz wilier undis- 
covered l)y the enemy, and established six outposts. At the same 
hour Company H, in the 2d Battalion sector, infiltrated into the 
Boche front line in Enschingen. When day broke the Boche dis- 
covered the outjiosts in Ammertzwiller and promptly attacked 
them, sending at the same time a box barrage into the American- 
French support which was lying in wait some 500 yards back in 
an old abandoned trench in No Man's Land. The outposts, "al- 
though outnumbered, put up a fight (instead of falling back on 
their reserve as planned) and in a skirmish which lasted an hour 
they drove the Boche off with grenades and rifle fire, and took 
two Germans prisoner. They then concealed themselves in some 
demolished cellars at the edge of the village until night, and re- 
turned by order to their own lines under the cover of darkness. 
One American was captured during the course of the action, and 
an estimated number of twenty Boche Avere killed or wounded. 
Of the xAmericans who par- 
ticipated in the engagement 
one Officer and three enlisted 
men were awarded the Croix 
de Guerre by the French for 
their cool and courageous 
behavior.

situation, Company H, in En- 
schingen was rapidly consoli- 
dating the position there. The 
Germans, at this point, had 
evacuated their front line, and 
offered no resistance to the 
invading party until late in 
the day. By the time retalia- 
tion began there however, the 
French Headquarters had de- 
cided not to send reinforcements to hold the ground which had 
been gained, and ordered H Company to withdraw, which it did 
that evening. 

This marked the end of attempts to advance the lines during 
the Regiment's tour in that sector. 

Companies B, D, G and H remained in the front line until 
the night of October 26th-27th. This date the 3d Battalion re- 
lieved the 2d Battalion in C. R. Balschwiller, Companies K and 
L going into the front line. The 1st Battalion, in C. R. Gild- 
wilier, was relieved by the 3d Battalion of the 349th Infantry, and 
immediately on coming out it marched back into a reserve posi- 
tion in the village of Vauthiermont. The 2d Battalion, on leav- 
ing the trenches, retired to the towns of Traubach-le-Bas and 
Traubach-le-Haut. 

The 3d Battalion, during its tour in the trenches, found 
much difficulty in stirring up trouble with the Germans. French 
Corps Headquarters, which directed the policy of the allied 
troops along the Alsace front at that time suddenly forbade all 
unnecessary antagonizing of the Boche in that sector. Hence most 

of the action from then on 
was furnished by the working 
parties in No Man's Land and 
the contact patrols sent out 
from the Intelligence platoon. 
On one occasion a Scout pa- 
trol stole several gas alarm

In the ni^ht of October 
29th the 3d Battahon was re- 
lieved by the 2d Battalion of 
the 349th Infantry. From 
Balscliwiller it marched back- 
to a position in reserve at the 
villages of Phaffans and Beth- 
onvilliers. The same evening 
the 2d Battalion, 350th, left Traubach-le-Iiaut and Traubach-le- 
Bas and retired to Chevremont ; Regimental Headquarters, the 
Headquarters Company, with the Medical Detachment and a 
detachment from the 313th Field Signal Battalion, went from 
Brechaumont to Foussemagne ; the Machine Gun Companv 
marched from St. Cosme to La Collonge, and the three Intelli- 
gence Platoons, as their Battalions came out of the line, pro- 
ceeded to the Division Intelligence School at Gommersdorf. The 
next day, all the units of the 350th having been relieved in the 
Haute sector, the entire Regiment continued its move south- 
ward to the Giromagny area. Regimental Headquarters left 
Foussemange at 2:20 P. M., and arrived at Giromagny at 6:00 
P. M., that evening. The Headquarters Company, Medical De- 
tachment and 313th Field Signal Detachment left Foussemange 
at 2:20 P.M., and reached Giromagny at 10:30 P. M. The 1st 
Battalion left Vauthiermont at 2 :45 and marched to Vescemont, 
arriving there at 10:00 P. AI. The 2d Battalion cleared Chevre- 
mont at 3:00 and reached Rougegoutte at 10:00 P. M. Two 
Companies of the 3d Battalion left Phaffans at 6:30 P. M., were 
joined by the remainder of 
the Battalion at Bethonvilliers 
and arrived at Giromagny at 
10:45 P. :\I. The Machine 
Gun Company left La Col- 
longe at 6:00 P. AI. and 
reached Vescemont at 11:30 
P. M. The Supply Compan\- 
left Reppe at 7:00'p. M., and

on the night of 

November 1st, rt 

8:00 P. M., and 

after a continuous 

hike of sixteen hours reached the Giromagny area at noon, 

November 2d. 

The Regiment billeted in this area eight days. During most 
of the time the sun shone bright and warm, a happy change from 
the rain which fell so freely farther north ; and the autumn-clad 
heights of the Mountains in whose valley the tiny white villages 
of the district lay were brilliant in their changing hues of brown 
and red. Odor of the pine trees filled the air, and everything in 
sight or sound enhanced an atmosphere of utter peace. A bald 
illusion was this, howbeit. and it failed to last. On the 5th of 
November orders were received for the Regiment to move from 
the Giromagny area to the Toul Sector. Two days later the 
350th bid farewell to the one area it occupied in France where 
rain and mire were the exce})tion and not the rule. 

Company I was sent ahead to Belfort early in the evening 
of the 7th to act as loading party at the point of departure. They 
were followed by the 1st and 2d Battalions and the Special Units, 
who went aboard train at 10:00 P. M., and after an all night 
rail-trip were unloaded at Royaumeix, a rail-head north of the 

city of Toul. From this point 
Regimental Headquarters, the 
Headquarters Company, the 
Medical Detachment and the 
detachment of the 313th Field 
Signal Battalion marched to

and the Supply Company went

Company D was later sent far-

lage of Mandres. The 2d Bat- 
talion, less Company E, proceeded to^ the town of Sanzey and 
Andilly, — Company E, with the Machine Gun Company going 
to Bauvron. The 3d Battalion having been joined by Company 
I, left Belfort the morning of the 8th at 4 :00 o'clock, and arriv- 
ing at Royaumeix early on the 9th, proceeded to the Bois de 
Lagney. 

It v^^as now generally believed throughout the Regiment that 
the 350th had been brought to this front to take part in an at- 
tack to cut off Metz which was expected to be launched within 
a few days as a part of the Meuse-Argonne offensive. This be- 
lief was corroborated on the evening of November 9th. A Field 
Order from Brigade Headquarters reached Regimental Head- 
quarters at 17:55 o'clock on that date advising that the 175th Bri- 
gade, comprising the 350th and 349th Infantry Regiments, had 
been detached from the 88th Division and attached to the 4th 
Corps. The 350th was ordered to hold itself in readiness to 
march on a moment's notice to Thiaucourt, there to join other 
troops of the 4th Corps which were to form the reserve in an 
encircling movement around Metz. In accordance with this 
complete preparations were made at once to enter the attack. 
At zero hour, twelve o'clock midnight of the 10th, the Allied ar- 
tillery opened up a terrific pre- 
paratory bombardment on the 
German lines which con- 
tinued without abatement 
through the night and next 
morning until exactly eleven 
o'clock, when it stopped as 
suddenly as it had begun. No

for the 350th to march up however. At 
1 1 :30 a message came by runner to Regi- 
mental Headquarters announcing that the 
enemy had signed an Armistice. 

Thus passed the 350th Infantry's oppor- 
tunity to enter a great attack, — and Mar- 
shal Foch was not the only man who wept 
on that memorable morning of November 
eleventh, Nineten hundred eighteen.

HE cessation of hostilities following the Armistice 
did not affect the training schedule of the Ameri- 
can troops to any great extent. The 350th re- 
mained in the Bernecourt area until late in Novem- 
ber, and from the 12th to the 18th the companies 
turned out for drill regularly each day. But as the German 
armies poured back across the Rhine in fulfillment of the re- 
quirement that they evacviate all invaded French territory the 
Americans who were not employed in following them up were 
used in salvaging the vast amount of war material which lay 
strewn over the war-torn areas. The 350th was occupied thus 
from November 18th to 28th. There was also much opportunity 
for assisting the thousands of released French prisoners who 
began streaming back along the roads from Metz the very day 
the Armistice was signed. These men were in pitiable shape, 
terribly emaciated, and clothed for the most part in cast-oft" 
Boche uniforms. Hundreds of them were given food and drink 
at the company kitchens of the Regiment as they fell out along 
the wayside from the procession that shuffled endlessly by. 

November 2yth the Eighty-eighth Division began a move 
to the (iondrecourt area, in the Departement of the Meuse, which 
entailed a two day hike -of sixty-five kilometers. The 350th 
rendezvoused at the Sanzey-Boucq crossroads (three kilometers 
southwest of Sanzey) at 9:50 A.M., of the 29th, and marching 
under full packs reached the city of Commercy at dusk, where 
the entire unit was billeted for the night. The next morning 
the march was continued, and late in the afternoon the Regiment 
entered its new area. Here the column broke up, and the vari-

16:00 o'clock. This distribution remained the same until Decem- 
ber 4th. That date the 1st Battalion, less Company B. moved to 
Naix-aux-Forges ; Company B went to Longeaux, and Company 
I went from Longeaux to Givrauval. 

Colonel Charles A. Stone, on December 20th, was relieved 
of command of the 350th and assigned to duty at Bordeaux, Lt. 
Colonel Fred B. Ray assuming command on that date. 

In the Gondrecourt area the Regiment remained longer than 
in any other in France. As winter came in it brought with it 
the usual problems of providing heat and sanitation for the com- 
fort of the troops. Wood was very scarce, the water sources here 
were found to be contaminated, there were no bathing facilities 
and no places other than the wine shops where the men could 
congregate. The billets, too, left much to be desired, for most 
of them were open barn lofts out of repair. Some of these dis- 
advantages were wholly 
overcome, the others 
were to some extent 
mitigated. The drink- 
ing water was of neces- 
sity chlorinated ; the 
1 e a k y b i 1 1 e t s were

procured, although there 
never was a large enough 
wood ration to go all the way 
around. A set of knock-down 
Adrian barracks was secured 
and these buildings w ere 
erected where they were most 
needed, to serve as mess halls, 
infirmaries, entertainment 

halls, barracks and Y.M.C.A. 
huts. Finally, in several of the 

\illages, bathhouses were installed with sufficient capacity to al- 
low each man in the Regiment at least one shower per week. 

Toward the middle of January a large drove of horses, most 
of them sufi:'ering from the efi'ects of gas and the mange, were 
turned over to the Supply Company from Division to be nursed 
back to health. At the time they arrived there was barely enough 
shelter available in the area for the seventy odd head of horses 
and mules which the Regiment already had on hand. So work 
was begun at once on a series of stables which eventually cov- 
ered the sides of a long slope to the north of Menaucourt, and 
within a few weeks these had l)een equipped with a blacksmith 
shop, corrals, a saddle house and numerous other conveniences 
for the care of animals and transportation. 

Throughout the months of December, January, February 
and March most of the training centered on open warfare tac- 
tics, which was carried out through the medium of Corps, Di- 
vision, Brigade and Regimental maneuv- 
ers, and Battalion and Company problems. 
During February, March and April each 
company was' in addition put through an 
intensive course of training in Musketry 
on the range at Menaucourt. Officers and 
enlisted men were sent in unending suc- 
cession to the School of Arms and Gas at 
St. Joire, and practically every junior of- 
ficer in the Regiment spent a month at 
the A. E. F. School of Fire at Clamency.

ment which was won by a 
team from the Intelligence 
])latoon of the 1st Battalion. 
Men from these teams were 
then selected to form Battalion teams. The 3d Battalion won 
this match. From the Battalion teams a Regimental team was 
chosen which was defeated in a match with the 349th Infantry, 
but a number of men from the 350th were picked for places on 
the Brigade team, which competed with the 176th Brigade sharj)- 
shooters for places on the 88th Division team. 

The Regiment passed in review frecjuently during these 
months, and stood many "George Bell" inspections. 

On the 7th of March Colonel James A. Lynch, of the Regu- 
lar Army, was assigned to the 350th and took command, reliev- 
ing Lt. Colonel Ray. who was temporarily detached from the 
Regiment and j^laced in command of the 88th Division Schools 
at St. joire. 

With the advent of spring weather the schedule of maneuv-

in ihe morning and tlius the afternoons were left free for recre- 
ation. An Officer especially detailed for the purpose organized 
the athletics through the Regiment, and a baseball league was 
conducted successfully for a month and a half among the com- 
pany teams. Then as the A. E. F. Athletic Tournament drew 
near tryouts were held in each Battalion to decide the men who 
should represent the 350th in the elimination contests for the 
team to enter at Paris for the SSth Division. Competitions were 
held at the same time in musketry and close and extended order 
drill by platoons. The Regimental musketry platoon competi- 
tion was won by the 1st platoon of Company M. 

The chief sources of enter- 
tainment during this period 
were the soldiers' amateur 
vaudeville companies which 
toured the Y. M. C. A. huts, 
the movies, the Over-there 
Theatre League and the foot- 
ball and baseball games. ^^^^^

two days, therefore, all drill 
was suspended, and the time 
])Ut in on furbishing accoutre- 
ments. Ivirl}- in the morning of April 19th the Regiment em- 
bussed in motor lurries and was transjjorted en masse to a 
large parade ground several kilonieters south of the town of 
Gondrecourt. Here the entire Division assembled, and formed 
uj) in a line of masses. At eleven o'clock General Pershing and 
Secretary of War Baker came on the field, accompanied by 
Major General Weigel and General Pershing's staff. Starting 
at the right fiank of the Division line General Pershing with his 
party walked rapidly through each rank making his inspection 
and questioning the ( )fficers. While he was thus occupied, Sec- 
retary of War Baker circulated among the troops inspecting in- 
formally and engaging in conversation with the men. 

At the conclusion of this part of the reviewing ceremony the 
General took a position in front of the center of the Regimental 
colors which were grouped near the left flank, and there presented 
decorations to General Weigel and other members of the com- 
mand, after which he decorated the colors with streamers bearing 
the name of the sectors which the Regiments had occupied at 
the front. 

He then mounted uj) and rode with General Weigel and 
party to the review- 
ing stand, where 
Secretary Baker 
awaited them. Gen- 
eral Pershing dis- 
mounted and with 
Secretary Baker en- 
tered the stand. Gen- 
eral Weigel joined 
his Command. Five Country

tninutes later the massed Division executed Squads Right and 
passed in review in Line-of-BattaHons formation, to the music 
of four Regimental bands which had been combined into 
one unit. As the troops marched off the field they assembled 
in a natural amphitheatre a short distance to the west, and here 
they were addressed by Secretary Baker and General Pershing, 
both of whom in the course of their remarks called forth tre- 
mendous cheering with the promise that the 88th Division would 
soon be sailing for America. 

That night the troops of the 350th rode back to Naix, and 
Givrauval, and Menaucotlrt, and Morlaincourt, and Longeaux 
wath a glow in their hearts which the rain failed wholly to sub- 
due.

HE Pershing Review proved to be the last occa- 
sion on which the 88th Division assembled as a 
combat unit. It was also the closing review for 
the 350th Infantry. From April 21st on increas- 
ing pressure was applied in getting the Regiment 
completely outfitted and the records collated in preparation for 
the impending move to the coast. On April 30th a picked team 
of riflemen from the 350th left for LeMans to enter the lists 
for the A. E. F. Rifle Championship. Eight days later, on May 
7th, the Regiment proper began a move by rail to the Le Mans 
area, a district near the Atlantic seaboard which was used by 
the American Army as an equipment and inspection station for 
troops en route to the embarkation ports. Arriving at La Suze, 
a rail-head, the morning of the 19th, the various units proceeded 
on foot to the following villages : Regimental Headcitiarters, the 
2d Battalion, the Headquarters Company, Supply Company and 
Machine Gun Company went to Foulletourte. The 3d Battalion 
went to Guecelard ; the 1st Battalion Headquarters with Com- 
panies B and D to Roeze, and Companies A and C to Spay. Here 
six days were spent checking equipment, turning in surplus 
property, and getting the troops thoroughly deloused. No at- 
tempt was made to drill. Such time as was not taken with the 
necessary formations was given over to relaxation. 

( )n the morning of May 15th the Regiment marched back to 
the town of LaSuze and here entrained for St. Naz?ire, one of 
the three great American embarkation ports in France. It ar- 
rived at St. Nazaire early the next day and went from the train 
to Camp No. 2 where it billeted in barracks. There now followed

two days of minute 
inspections, both as 
to men, equipment 
and records, which 
surpassed everything 
of this kind that had 
gone before. No dif- 
ficulty was experi- 
enced, however, in se- 
curing clearance 
papers, and by the 
afternoon of the 18th 
the entire organization had been relieved of accountability and 
was ready to go aboard ship. 

After a wait of one day. which was decided upon in order 
to secure a vessel large enough to carry the Command intact, 
the Regiment marched by Battalions to the docks on the morn- 
ing of May 19th, and there boarded the U. S. S. Aeolus, a former 
German liner which had been interned by the American Govern- 
ment during the war and converted into a troop ship. That eve- 
ning she weighed anchor at nine o'clock. A throng of less fortu- 
nate soldiers had gathered at the wharf to watch the sailing, and 
it was amidst the echo of their cheers and the tune of "Homeward 
Bound" froni the Regimental Band that the 350th drew away 
from the scenes among which it had sojourned for the better part 
of a year. 

The voyage on the Aeolus was made in ten days and nights. 
Several periods of rough weather robbed the trip of the enjoy- 
able features to 

which many had f 

looked forward ; but 
for those among the 
passengers who w'ere 
not disturbed by the 
pitch and roll of the 
boat there were 
means j^rovided for 
passing the tim^ 

pleasantly. A mOV- Schleifer, Army, vs. Murphy. Navy. Aeolus.

minstrel show on 
one occasion, and 
an afternoon was 
devoted to a series 
of boxing exhibi- 
tions. At the same 
time there was 
much fatigue duty 
required in keep- 
ing the bunk decks pohced and in preparing the mess. 

The most noteworthy event of the homeward voyage was a 
mass meeting of Officers and men which was held in the ship's 
saloon on May 29th. The outcome of this gathering was the 
formation of an association designed to perpetuate the organiza- 
tion of the 350th Regiment after demobilization. A committee 
had previously been appointed to draw up a constitution which 
was voted on and accepted at the meeting. Oft'icers of the Society 
were elected for a one year term. Lt. Colonel Fred B. Ray, of 
Yankton, S. Dak., was unanimously elected President by accla- 
mation, and it was voted that the organization be named the 
"Three Hundred and Fiftieth Infantry Association." 

At five o'clock, on the morning of May 30th, the first sign of 
land appeared oft' the port beam. Two hours later the Aeolus 
steamed into harbor at Newport News, Virginia, and at 10:00 
A. M., had warped up to the dock and begun disembark- 
ing the troops. 
From the docks 
the Regiment 
marched through 
the city of New- 
port News to 
Camp Alexander,

tion for over-sea 
units as they ar- 
rived from abroad.

days later the last man had been released from service, and the 
Three Hundred and Fiftieth Infantry had i)assed into history.

I^ctter from ^t» (Eixl Harrison ^i\. l^txtt 

to t\)t ^ovmtv jHembers of tljc 35l)tl| infantry 

The undersigned had the good fortune to Command the 
350th Infantry, 88th Division, for a period of over a year during 
its time of training in the States and in France. 

During this long period several thousand men were received 
into and transferred from the Regiment to other units with a 
view of their early despatch to the war zone in France. 

The work of training these various increments received from 
the draft was exacting, difficult, arduous in the extreme. The 
fact that a large draft of men would he received, equipped, 
drilled and trained with enthusiasm in the hope that our Di- 
vision would be made ready for foreign service with the least 
possiljle delay only to find that the enlisted personnel was to go, 
and did go, to other Divisions, was enough to dull the eft'orts of 
the keenest soldier. The loss of our men through transfer to 
other units during the period October. 1917. to May, 1918. was 
a trying period for all officers and men. and called for the dis- 
play of the highest soldierly qualities on the part of all. The 
energy, ability, loyalty and good judgment shown by the officers 
and non-commissioned officers of this Regiment during this try- 
ing time and the later training period from June to August and in 
France during September and October was of the highest order 
and was productive in developing and perfecting the highest 
soldierl}^ qualifications in both officers and men. 

I esteem it an honor to have been associated with the officers 
and men of this Regiment, and to have been privileged, as its 
Commander, to have added my "bit" to its training and develop- 
ment into a first class fighting unit. The officers and men were 
loyal beyond compare and I shall always cherish the friendships 
formed and the hearty good fellowship that prevailed therein. 

This Regiment has now been demobilized and the officers 
and men have returned to their pre-war duties. My best wishes 
for their future success and happiness go with them individually.

i;i)e ^Ifrcc Hitnircft JFtfttetIf Snfatttr^ 

Toward the close of the 350th Infantry's stay in France 
there arose throughout the Regiment a common wish on the 
part of its members that a permanent organization might be 
formed before demobihzation to perpetuate in as large a measure 
as possible the social body of the unit after its life in the military 
had been brought to an end. Owing to the pressure of other 
matters it was found to be impracticable to assemble the. Regi- 
ment as a whole in the Gondrecourt area, where it was then bil- 
leted, and an opportunity for a general meeting did not present 
itself until May. During the voyage home, aboard the U. S. S. 
Aeolus, the first steps were taken toward organization. The 
initial move was made at the instigation of Lt. Colonel Fred B. 
Ray, who appointed a committee composed of Captain Walter L. 
Akers, Captain Minor F. Wasson, Captain Frank L. Sieh, and 
1st Lieutenant Walter H. Schlosser to draw up a tentative con- 
stitution for the prospective association. The result of this com- 
mittee's deliberations was presented for vote May 27th, to a mass 
meeting of as many officers and enlisted men as could be got 
into the ship's saloon. The constitution, with several minor 
changes, was adopted at -this meeting as drawn up by the com- 
mittee, and officers were elected to hold office for one year, dating 
from the first annual convention, which was voted to be held in 
conjunction with the American Legion convention at Minneapolis, 
Minnesota, in November, 1919. The name chosen for the or- 
ganization was "The 350th Infantry Association" and its pur- 
poses are set forth in the Constitution.

On June 5, 1919, at Camp Dodge, Iowa, there passed out of 
official existence, through the process of demobilization, the 350th 
Regiment of Infantry of the 88th Division. Due tO' the intelli- 
gent efforts of its commissioned and enlisted personnel the regi- 
ment had reached a state of efficiency difficult to equal. Its 
morale, embodying patriotism, discipline, esprit du corps, energy 
and pride, was remarkable and was apparent in all ranks. No 
task of administration, equipment, sanitation, instruction or or- 
ganization appeared to be an obstacle — and nobody fretted. The 
regiment functioned in all its parts, and good will and team work 
was always evident. The vicissitude of service in France in- 
cluded many dangers and discomforts and presented many 
problems. 

The billeting of personnel, the preparation and service of 
food, the preservation of health, the procuration of clothing, arms 
and equipment, and the care of same, the means of transporta- 
tion from place to place, the maintenance of discipline and of 
good order and health, problems in which each individual was 
deeply affected, were carried out successfully and cheerfully. 

The Regimental Staff' Officers displayed thorough knowl- 
edge of their various duties and responsibilities and were always 
ready to take the initiative to meet the constant demand for 
action. Company Commanders were indeed parents and com- 
manders in one. The relations between officers and enlisted men 
were well balanced and I believe that all matters incident to 
personal and official welfare were adjudicated without partiality 
or favor but with affection and consideration. 

It was not my good fortune to be w^ith the regiment during 
its occupation of the trenches opposite the enemy's lines, in 
w^hich position it suffered some losses, nor to be with it during 
the days just prior to the armistice of November 11, 1918, when 
it was a part of the army designated to deliver the final blow, in 
which I am sure, had time sufficed, it would have demonstrated 
its ability to win the success for which its machinery was so well 
prepared. 



84 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 

I saw the i)assing- of the 350th infantry with an emotion 
ahnost akin to despair. I was helpless to save, for the govern- 
ment or for myself, an organization which I shall always hold 
as an ideal, and for wiiich I had a strong affection and ad- 
miration. 

The home-coming, with its promises of social reunion, the 
resumption of former occupations, the commencement of new 
careers, and the lure of domestic life, opens a new vista, and 
])erhaps the experience, the deprivations and the discipline in- 
cident to military life in a foreign country will add something of 
value to the individual assets and will serve to good purpose in 
meeting the obstacles of the future; and I feel confident that we 
shall cherish the memories of comrades, and the friendships 
welded by the mutual sharing of dangers and discomforts, of 
lame feet and of weary backs, the suffering of which gave the 
satisfaction of duty well done for a great cause. 

I offer to the commissioned and enlisted personnel, manv of 
whom I had opportunity to know intimately and to form attach- 
ments for, my compliments, and my thanks for their courtesies, 
their hospitalities and their respect.

TO ENGLAND 

AFTER leaving Camp Upton and arriving at Brooklyn Pier No. 29, 
in the manner elsewhere recorded. Regimental Headquarters, the 
1st Battalion, E and F Companies of the 2d Battalion, the 
Medical Detachment and the Headquarters, Machine Gun, and Supply 
Companies hegan embarking at 9 :30 A. M. August 11th, on His Majesty's 
Ship Delta. No. 640, for the voyage over-seas. 

During the time consumed in filing the troops aboard the Regi- 
mental Band gave a concert and a platoon of Red Cross girls from 
Long Island City saw to it that no soldier left the United States on 
an empty stomach. As the men struggled up the steep gangplanks 
under their heavy packs they were directed by companies to the various 
decks, far below in the bowels of the vessel. The officers and senior 
non-commissioned officers were assigned staterooms, the size and 
elegance of which had been proportioned in exquisite ratio with the 
officers' respective degrees-in-altitude of rank. 

By 12 :30 P. M. Army organization on board had begun to set in. 
A .system of submarine lookouts had been established at this time and 
posted for'd and aft ; kitchens were beginning to function ; the infirm- 
ary was ready for the land-lubber rush, and two Americans had been 
laid on the floor In a faint which they later declared was brought on 
by inhaling the fumes from a mess of curry which a group of Hindoo 
stokers were enjoying near a ventilator shaft in the boiler room, three 
decks below. At 2 :00 P. M. the transport weighed anchor, backed away 
from the pier, and fifteen minutes later was steaming down past Gov- 
ernor's Island toward Sandy Hook and Ambrose Channel where she 
joined her convoy, — seven other transports and two armored cruisers. 

The ships of the convoy formed up in a column and at one o'clock 
moved out to sea. As they approached the Statue of Liberty a dirigible, 
two aeroplanes, and a destroyer came out from the harbor and accom- 
panied them through the zone which was being thi'eatened at that time 
by German submarines operating in American waters'. The dirigible 
and the aeroplane turned back after twelve hours, and the destroyer 
and one of the cruisers returned after thirty-six hours. One cruiser 
remained during the journey to symbolize Protection. When one felt 
nervous he looked at that. 

Throughout the fourteen-day voyage of the Delta no sign of a 
storm appeared. As a result there was little sea-sickness. The troops^ 
messed at long tables in their company deck areas, each squad sending 
one man per meal to the kitchens for the food. The rations consisted 
principally of soup or slum and slum or soup, a few ounces of bread 
per man, now and then a carrot, a wedge of cheese per squad, and 
coffee. The feat 6t transporting two buckets of hot liquid, a couple of 
loaves of bread, a wedge of cheese, and a carrot up and down slanting

ladders and along slippt'iy. crowded, rolliiifi gangways had its diffioul 
ties, for one man alone, lint tliere were those who fre(|neut!y ac- 
complished the trick in one trip. Tliey sucked in the stomacli, stuffed 
the hread up into the area tluis vacated under the coat, tucked the 
chee.se under an arm, and ate the carrot — hefore picking up the soup 
and coffee. 

From the first hour ahoard ruitii the ves.sel pas.sed the last danger 
zone every soldier was rt»quired to wear his life-jacket day and night. 
But inasmuch as the convoy followed a northern course this incon- 
venience was comfortahly counteracted by the jacket's warmth. At 
night port-holes were kept closed ; deck lights' were not permitted, and 
all lights in rooms which faced toward the sea went out automatically 
when the doors were oi>ened. 

After the second day out a regular system of calls was instituted. 
An Officer of the Day, Officer of the Guard, and permanent officers 
of the submarine lookouts were on duty continually. A ship's Police 
Officer was appointed. Colonel Price, Commanding Officer, established 
his P. C. in the starboard corner of the smoking room. Reveille and 
breakfast were followed by a half hour of brisk physical exercises on 
deck and police of quarters. Either Fire Call or Abandon Ship call 
sounded at 10:00 A. M., and at this signal all troops fell in at their 
proper stations and stood by while the Commanding Oft'icer made his 
in.'pections. 

A serious problem during the voyage was that of entertainment. 
It w^as solved in A'arious ways. The band played two concerts a day. — 
in the morning on the poop deck, following fire call, and at 5 :30 P. M. 
on the boat deck. Boxing V»outs were frequent, and in the evening the 
first four men to meet after mess started a quartette. The officers 
played quoits, and spent several days off-duty time in securing the 
conviction of Lt. Brackett and Lt. Doc. Evansi on accumixlated, gi'ave 
charges in a mock trial by court-martial. One Delta institution which 
must live in the memories of all the officers on board was the mystic 
D. A. H. club, an organization of brothers banded together against the 
lemon-squash, and in whose ranks the only source of discord centered 
on the yet luianswered question of whom among the members most 
deserved the honored chair of Chief Exhausted Kooster. 

August K'.th. at 1 :(»() 1*. M. an ice-berg was sighted oft" the port 
l)eam ; and as the convoy passed it the temperature became noticeably 
cooler. At 4:30 P. M. a number of tran>ports carrying Canadians from 
Halifax joined the convoy, luiving with them two additional cruisers. 
The same day, at 5 :00 P. M. a large whale was observed tossing in the 
waves off the port beam and for some minutes was thought to be a 
submarine. The morning of the 17th a lone cruiser was passed on its 
way to the States. August 20th, at dusk, a convoy of sixteen empty 
transports appeared over the horizon far to port, returning from Eng- 
land to America. 



THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY 87 

The convoy entered the Enropeau danger zone in the night of 
August 21st. Now all water-tight compartments were closed, and 
officers and guards remained constantly on duty on every deck. But 
all went well during the night and next day, and at 11 :30 P. M. August 
22d the tension was relieved hy the appearance of a fleet of eight 
British and American torpedo boat destroyers, sent out to the convoy as 
an additional escort into port. These lithe sea-hunters, darting, turning, 
circling everywhere about with their depth-bombs lining the rails to be 
tripped over-board at a finger's touch contributed to a state of mental 
ease among the voyagers which must have been experienced to be 
sj'mpathetically comprehended. 

A striking incident of the voyage was the spectacular sunset on the 
evening of the 12th day out. The crimson sun, sinking into the western 
horizon, suffused the crawling convoy with a ruddy glow. The cam- 
ouflaged vessels, riding low upon the glistening surface of the waves, 
seemed motionless in the vast expanse of shining sea and sky, a 
reminder of the poet's "painted ships upon a painted ocean." And at 
the same hour, in the east, there appeared the added phenomenon of a 
double rainbow bending its coupled span across the distant archway 
of the heavens. For those aboard who valued omens there may have 
been a message in the .> cenic glories of this evening. 

At (» A. M. of the 2;i^d two (lirigil)les iind two aeroplanes came out 
to the convoy from the British hangars at Dover. Depth bombs hung 
from their wings and bottoms. They swept about and over the convoy 
throughout the day and the next day. A destroyer towing an observa- 
tion balloon took up position in the rear. At dusk, the evening of the 
23dj Land's End, England, was sighted ; and as day broke the next 
morning the convoy steamed into the English Channel. The empty 
seas of the p.ist two weeks were peopled now with countless sub-chasers, 
trawlers, "mosquitoe boats," sail-boats, and even tiny fishing smacks. 
Oft" the port bow towered the famous Chalk Cliffs of Dover, and perched 
jilong their verd; nt summits stood the giant hangars which housed the 
aircraft of the Cluuniel Patrol. Far to starbo:ird was plainly visible 
the gray receding outline of the coast of France. 

Not until the Goodwin Sands were reached was the vigilant look- 
out for submarines relaxed. But as the rearmost transport passed out 
of danger up into the Thames the protecting fleet of cruisers, destroy- 
ers, dirigibles, and aeroplanes signalled "good luck." circled about and 
tiu-ned back toward Dover. A British pilot came alongside the Delta 
in a tug. climbed aboard, and took, the wheel for the trip up the 
Thrmes. The vessel put on full steam, drew away from her sister 
ships, and was the first of the convoy to drop anchor for the night 
below the Tilbury docks. The next morning, August 25th, at nine 
o'clock, she warped into the pier and within the hour disembarked her 
proteges of two weeks sailing.

TO ENGLAND 

ON THE morning of August lotli. 1918, Companies G, H, I, K, L, 
and M left Camp Upton. N. Y.. for tlie Port of Embarlcation, on 
tlie Broolvlyn Pier. They proceeded by train to Long Island 
City, took a ferry from there to the Pier, and at 2 :00 P. M. all except 
Company H started to board H. M. S. Kashmir. — England bound. Com- 
pany H went aboard the '"Messanabie." 

The Kashmir was an S500-ton passenger vessel belonging to the 
famous P. & O. line which formerly plied between Liverpool and Bom- 
bay ; but like all other British craft, it was now engaged in the war. 
The officers of the f hip were all typical British sailors of the highest 
type belonging to their merchant marine. All were efficient, and their 
many acts of courtesy to our officers and men made the whole trip 
mighty enjoyable, under the circumstances. The advance party of 
officers which had prece<led the troops aboard met the captain of the 
vessel, who conducted them over the ship, and thoroughly explained to 
them the necessary rules and regulations which must govern the con- 
duct of the officers and men on board. Major Storch established his 
headquarters in the ship's orderly room, over which an old British 
sergeant presided. The passenger lists were carefully checked over; 
staterooms were assigned to sixty-six officer?, ten Red Cross repre- 
sentatives, two Y. M. C. A. workers, and various guard, routine and 
fatigue details were made out. According to the Assignment Order 
there were sixty-six officers and 2.112 enlisted men to be taken care of 
on the boat. This included the entire personnel of the 3rd Battalion, — 
3S officers' and 1400 men ; the 338th Machine Gun Battalion, consisting 
of 23 officers and 720 men : and the Medical Detachment of 5 officers 
and 24 men. 

In the process of embarkation two gangways were used. As the 
men came aboard they were carefully looked over by U. S. Secret Ser- 
vice men. who were particularly on the look-out for Hun agents. By 
3:30 all were i; board, the various deck areas were allotted to organiza- 
tions, and tlie baggage was placed away. At 3:45 the Captain of the 
Kashmir was notified that everything was ready. 

About 4:00 P. M. our transport started to slowly back away from 
its dock. The men were crowding the deck space, and every available 
vantage spot along the deck railing held its particular soldier who was 
waving a farewell salute to the members of the Red Cross, left on tne 
pier. The boat slowly gathered speed, and started down the river out 
into the harbor. About 5 :00 o'clock the vessel anchored in the midst 
of the entire convoy off the Coney Island i-horeline. where we laid over 
until 1 :30 P. M. the next day. In the meantime the rest of the trans- 
ports that were to go in this convoy were gathering in one group. 
There were eighteen transports with soldiers and army nurses in the 
one convoy, numbering around 33.000 soldiers in all.

jili^nnu'iit obtained, tlie jireat convoy \\n< on its way to England. As 
the Kasinnir passed tlie Statue of Lilx'rty tlie men altoard fjreeted 
their "Mutual (Jirl" witli a rousing dieer of farewell and courage. It 
was quite a moment in the lives of every man tliere. Most of the com- 
mand stood on the decks watching the land recede in the distance until 
it was finally lost sight of. The transports were protected by a U. S. 
Battleship, one French Battlesliip. two T'. S. Torpedo Boat Destroyers, 
one great dirigii>le balloon, ami M'vcial bydroijlanes. This was very 
adequate protecti* n for a convoy this side of the Atlantic. In addition 
every transport li;'d its armament of one or more guns that were 
manned by trained naval crews. 

From the Kith until the 2(ith of August the convoy experienced the 
most ideal weather conditions. The sea was unusually smooth, the sky 
cloudless, and every night during this period was graced with a bril- 
liant moon. This latter fict did not lead to s-afety from a submarine 
attack, but it did add to the enjoyment of the trip. No lights were 
permitted on any cf the boats after night-fall; no smoking was permit- 
ted on any of tho decks or exposed places after sun-down. All port- 
holes were securely fastened and closed at night; every officer and 
man always carried or wore his life jacket during these rather nervous 
days. 

Abandon Ship and Fire Drills were held every day at irregular 
hoursi. Each person was assigned to a particular place where he was 
to be found in case the ship had been torpedoed. As the convoy ap- 
proached the coast of Newfoundland the usual Newfoundland fog 
descended over the whole scene, and the remainder of the journey was a 
rather damp and blind trip. August 2Gth a portion of our armed escort 
left us during the night. Imt early the next morning six English de- 
stroyers joined us and circled about the transports like keen grey- 
hounds seeking their prey. August L'Ttli more destroyers and subma- 
rine chasers joined us. as we were now approaching the most danger- 
ous submarine territory off the coast of Ireland. The convoy now 
numbered thirty vessels of vari(ms kinds, in addition to the eighteen 
regular troop transports. The ccnvoy would change its entire course 
from time to time so that our path refeml>led a great zig-zag streak. 
It was a great game, this outwitting of the Hun submarine. 

We passed Black Rock Point off the coast of Scotland at 1:00 
P. M. — the first land sighted since leaving the States. It looked good 
to us. During the last three days of the trip ev(M-y officer and man was 
required to wear his clothes and life jacket at all times. It was a long 
and tediou.'i grind. One of the destroyers sunk a mine the morning of 
the 27th, but no submarines were noticed. They undoubtedly were 
about, but it would have been suicide tor one of tlieni to have made 
an attack.

Early Wednesday morning, at 3:00 o'clock, the Kashmir ci'awled 
into the great network of harbors and docks in Liverpool. The entire 
command never felt so safe in their lives as they did at that moment. 
1st Lt. Clair E. Wilson, asi Officer of the Day, talked to a debarkation 
Officer on one of the docks, and he came back with the information 
that we were billed to debark at 7 :00 that morning. Major Storcli 
ordered all officers on duty. This necessitated waking the whole com- 
mand, as everyone had gone to sleep for a few short hours after the 
sleepless nights. This information proved to be false, as the troops did 
not debark until 3 :30 in the afternoon. In the meantime permi^ sion 
was obtained for a limited number to go ashore and these few imme- 
diately went to a cable office from whence telegrams were soon flashing 
across the Atlantic announcing the safe arrival of their respective selves.

WE really did not become a company nntil June. 191S. when we 
received onr tinal c</mi)lement of the draft. Up to that time we 
suffered the fate of most of the units of the SSth Division ; that 
is, we received men, got them partially equipped and trained and then 
lost them to other Divisions or Camps. The same was true of our com- 
missioned personnel, which was not finally established until the Spring 
of 1918. 

In .June. 1918, we began intensive training and began to enter- 
tain hopes of eventually going "Over There." In July. 1918. our "dope" 
and "rumors" began to take definite form when the advance party was 
ordered to proceed to the port of embarkation, our quota being two 
officers : 1st Lt. Houghton, 2nd Lt. Forbes, and several N. C. O.'s. 

On August 4th we lined up before the barracks for a final roll-call 
with all our equipment and at 9 :45 we did Squads East and marched 
down to the yards to entrain. The train left Camp Dodge at 11 :00 A. 
M., and we headed for Camp Upton, Long Island, via Oelwein, Dubuque. 
Chicago, Detroit, Michigan, St. Thomas, Canada, Buffalo. New York, 
Syracuse, Utica, Ravina, West Point, and Weehawken. At Utica we had 
a parade and a shower bath. At Ravina we took a swim in the Hud- 
son River. At Weehawken we detrained and boarded the ferry for 
Long Island City, arriving there at 7 :00 P. M.. the 7tli. We rested on 
the pavement for 4 hours and then entrained for Camp Upton where 
we arrived at 2 :00 A. M., the 8th. Band concerts were the feature of 
our trip at all the principal stops. 

Our stay at Upton was brief, and a daze of checking up, issuing 
equipment and completing our enlisted personnel. At 2 :00 A. M., the 
11th, we entrained for Brooklyn Pier Xo. 29. We finished our embark- 
ation at 1 :00 P. M., the 11th, on the P. & O. S.S. Delta, No. 640. At 
2 :00 P. il. we cast off our moorings and steamed out of the harbor, 
joining our convoy off Sandy Hook, and pushing out into the North 
Atlantic began our 14 days of seemingly aimless zig-zagging. 

On the morning of the 23rd we sighted Lands End, England, and on 
the afternoon of the 24th of August, we passed Dover, went in be- 
hind the Goodwin Sands and dropped our hook off The Anchorage at 
Graves End on Thames. The next morning we steamed up the Thames 
and warped into the Pier at Tillbury Docks at 11:00 A. M. We com- 
menced disembarking at 12 :15 P. M.. entraining immediately for Rom- 
sey, England, at 1 :00 P. M., via Guy A. AY. Fawkes house, East End 
London. Windsor, Woking, and at 6:30 P. M., detrained at Romsey and 
marched a mile and a half to Woodley Camp, known as a Rest Camp.

Cherbourg to entrain at 5 :2;j P. M. The train left at 8:00 1'. M. On 
the 31st we passed through Ver.sailles and the outskirts of I'aris. 

We arrived at Semiir En Auxeis at 10:45 A. M., the 1st of Septem- 
ber, and detrained. The Pioneer Platoon was detailed at 1 :00 I'. M. 
to fight a forest fire at Pont, which took four days to extinguish. The 
rest of the Company proceeded to Vic de Chassenay, a distance of three 
miles. We remained at Vic until September 17th, on which day we 
marched to Les Laimies, a distance of twelve miles, arriving there 
at S:30 P. M. At 2:00 A. M.. the 18th. we entrained for Hericourt, ar- 
riving at 1:30 P. M.. the 18th. We detrained and marched three miles 
to Chagey. where we completed our equipment and training. 

On October 5th we left Chagey at 5 :40 P. M., for Botaus, a 
march of tweh'e miles . arriving there at 10 :30 P. M. On the 6th we 
left Botans at 4 :15 P. M. and arrived at Brechaumont at 12 :30 A. M., 
the 7th, a distance of 18.5 miles. Brechaumont was our headquarters 
in the center Sector, Haute Alsace Front. We remained here until 
October 30th, 1918. Lt. Forbes left us here to go on General Price's 
Staff. 

At :00 P. M., the 30th. we left for Foussemagne, a march of four 
and a half miles, arriving there at 7:30 P. M. On the 31st, at 2:15 
P. M.. we left for Gii'omagny, a march of 17.5 miles, arriving there at 
10:15 P. M. We remained here until the 7th of November, when we 
left at 11 :00 A. M. and marched 7.5 miles to Belfort where we en- 
trained and left at 4:00 P. M. for the Toul Front. 

We arrived at Royaumeix at 10:30 A. M., the 8th and marched five 
miles to barracks in the Bois-de-T.,agney. On the 10th we were lined 
up to march to the front near Thiaucourt but at the last moment the 
order was revoked and we remained at Bois-de-Lagney for the rest of 
the month. On the 19th of November Lt. Murphy of the Trench Mortar 
Platoon, while attending a divisional school as an instructor, was killed 
accidentally on the range. 

On November 29th we marched to Coinmercy. leaving the Bois at 
8:15 A. M. and arriving at Commercy at 3:30 P. M., a distance of 13.75 
miles. On the 30th we left Commercy at 8 :15 A. M., for Menaucourt, a 
distance of 12.25 miles, arriving there at 4 :00 P. M. Menaucourt re- 
mained our permanent training area 5 months. On the 14th of Decem- 
ber, 1918. Lt. Houghton left the Company to go to a hospital at 
Neufchateau for an oix'ration. and was later invalided home.

fantry was formed under the commanding officer, Capt. W. L. 
Akers!. with Ist Lt. I. J. Houghton. 2nd Lts. E. P. Stacy, M. A.

nedy, Ronan, Kanak, Coonrod, Cook, Stanton, and Corporal Pohler. 
On the night of September 21. 1917, about 120 recruits were added to 
the original organization. These men experienced the leaning rest 
and squads east and west vuitil November 22nd, when seventy-four were 
transferred to the S7th Division at Camp Pike. Other men had been 
transferred previously and more left during the following week. 

Lts. Joseph H. Hanley and Richard A. Russell were assigned to the 
company during December. 1917. 

February 1. 1018, Capt. Akers and Lts. Houghton and Forbes wer4- 
transferred to the Headquarters Company, 350th Infantry, and Captain 
C. V. Schmitt took command of the company. Between February 25th 
and March 1st the company was again filled by the new draft, but by 
April 6th these men had also lieen taken to different camps. 

About April 1st the Divi.-ional Machine Gnu School was foi'med in- 
which six men of the company served as instructors and five others 
attended as students. Later the Model Machine Gun Company was 
formed and these men participated. 

On May 29th the company was again filled. The men coming intO' 
tlie company at that date were from Missouri and Nebraska. They 
were to form the overseas company. No sooner had they acquired cer- 
tain ideas of the school of the squad than they were mystified by 
learning the signal work and Machine Gun Drill. Then, as evening 
recreation, they examined and donned gas masks by the numbers. The 
music of the Regimental reviews improved the enlisted men's cadence 
but the experience of an hour's parade-rest almost annihilated the con- 
tributed improvement. In the latter part of July Camp Funston and 
the 163rd Depot Brigade contributed men which completed the mem- 
bership of the company. After the usual number of preparatory in- 
spections of issued equipment and other things, the company were con- 
sidered ready for the departure. On Monday morning, August 5th, the 
barracks and grounds at ISth and Des Moines Streets were given the 
final policing and the company marched to the train which was to 
carry the SSth Division Headquarters and the 350th Infantry Machine 
Gun Company to the Athmtic Coast. That evening, the Mississippi 
River w^as crossed at Savannah. Illinois, and at midnight the odors of 
Chicago interfered with an ideal night's rest in the Pullman berths. 
The next morning South Rend appeared, making known that Indiana

w'a.s to be rec<»gnlzed throngh the haze. A ferry ride and a Long Lsland 
Railroad train ride brought the company to Camp Upton. Two days of 
final touches and ■■<;ood-byc liroadway" was a realization. 

Early Sundiiy morning (l! :o() A. M. to be e.xact) under weeping 
skies, the company proceeded to the train which carried them back to 
the harbor. Kefore twelve hours had pas.sed the transport Delta was 
carrying the cargo of soldiers, etc. away from the Statue of Liberty. 
Then life-belts, indescribable chow, hammocks as buid<s and a daily 
call-to-arms were variety's spice during two weeks of favorable sailing. 
S iturday. August 24th. the Straits of Dover were pas.'ed and that even- 
ing anchors were cast in the river Tliames. Early the next afternoon 
the company disembarked and were welcomed to England in the name 
of the King. 

Immediately, an English train was boarded and that evening Rom- 
sey proved to be our destination. A hike to Camp Woodley and living 
under canvas was exi>erienc-ed. The company seems inclined to re- 
member the chow, or the lack of that necessity. While there we h:!d a 
short re^t for the wicked. Friday morning. August 31st, packs were 
rolled and shouldered and a liik(> to Southampton became history. That 
evcMiing. the ferry '"Arch Angel" carried a load across the Channel and 
morning found the company ready to step on French soil at Cherbourg. 

A four-minute shower bath with the limited water supply and the 
visits to the mess hall are the prominent points of that camp's exper- 
iences. Every one was anxious to make the hike to the train the next 
evening. Monday afternoon the train carried us through the out- 
skirts of Versailles and Paris. That evening the ber.uties of the slopes 
of the Seine iittracted the men's thoughts until dnrkness prevented 
the soldier tourist's continuing such sight-seeing. Tuesday morning Se- 
min- was reached Jind the triun's work was done. 

After a noon mess of corn-willy and bard tack the company wearily 
hiked to Cernois, in which they were to liillet. Here policing-up, 
training and first experiences in guard duty were the schedule. Siui- 
day pusses to Semur and black-berries were the recreatiomv. Wednes- 
day morning, September ISth at (t :30 A. M.. the c(mipany fell in to hike 
to Les Laumes. That afternoon the men bec.nne ac(;uainte(l with the 
soldier "40-S" cars. 

Daylight found the troop train in Hericourt. from which .-i hike was 
made to Rrevillieis. The .second evening was the introduction to mail 
from the Sttites. which proved to be an intermittent disappointment. 



THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 105 

Gas Masks. Helmets and gini-carts were adclecl to the equipment. The 
civilian.M decided it was time to gather apples after the O. D.'s had 
been guests for a few days. Saturday, October ."itli. was a bu.sy day, as 
preparations for moving were on the schedule. 

That evening, a hike as cart-mules was made to Danjoutin in which 
the company resided a day. The next evening, a never-to-be-forgotten 
hike ended in St. Cosme, Alsace. The company demonstrated that en- 
durance was one of their chai-acteri sties as not a man fell out. While 
at St. Cosme the German planes discovered that the company's Ma- 
chine Guns were everlastingly vigilant as anti-air-craft guns and as a 
result one plane came down in No-man's land while endeavoring to get 
back across the lines. Although fifty i)er cent of the company con- 
tracted the "Flvi" only two members. Pvts. John F. Pingree and Henry 
Kestel, made the supreme sacrifice. October 29th ended the company's 
service here and before midnight of the next day billets were located 
in Vescemont. near Giromagny. 

Here the company rested, trained and maneuvered until Thursday 
morning. November 7th. when they briskly hiked to Belfort to entrain 
for a more active sector. The next morning, they unloaded at Andilly 
and proceeded to Bouvron. north of Toul. where they billeted. All day 
Saturdiy and Sunday trench packs wei'e kept rolled for a minute's- 
warning dep.xrture, but November 11th interfered with the schedule and 
the population of the village were forced to endure the company's pres- 
ence until the day following Thanksgiving. It is suspected the village 
celebrated November 2!)th. for the gun and ammunition carts were to 
rumble through Commercy's streets late that afternoon. The evening 
of November 30th. the billeting and baggage party received the com- 
t)any in Menaucourt. and the prospective day in which the men were 
to rest and shave had come after ten weeks. Maneuvers, detail, and 
other soldier activities soon interfered with tendencies to be idle. 

Throughout the history of the company, none of its members were 
arrested or court-martialed, and on every hike, whether long or short, 
no man ever fell out. In addition to these exceptional records, when 
one considers the luiusual si^irit of unity throughout the company, 
their unwillingness to be daunted in any undertaking and their making 
the best of eich situation, one realizes that the preceding paragraphs 
are limited sug.gestions of the incidents which might rightfully be in- 
cluded in the company's historical record.

Regimental Adjutant, April-June, 1919 



THIS organization was originally made up of one hundred ten men. 
drawn from three counties in Iowa ; Chicasaw, Floyd and Em- 
mett, September 5th and 19, 1917 ; of this number the Company 
still retained forty-six at the end. George "Whitmer, the first man as- 
signed to the Company, was' also the first man to be registered at Camp 
Dodge. 

From the February 5th call, the Supply Company took men who 
came from miscellaneous Iowa points, and from the May 2Sth call, the 
Supply Company received a few from Nebraska and a number from 
Missouri. The Company was filled to full strength by the transfer of 
men from various organizations, and the assignment of men from 
Camp Funston shortly before the departure of the Division for overseas. 

The Supply Comp.uiy had originally five Regular Army men; Ser- 
geant Andrew Lee, who wasi made 1st Sergeant of the Company while 
en route to the coast; R. S. S. David C. Dailey ; Mess Sergeant Bar- 
rett, who was later transferred to Company K ; Sergeant Neal and 
Sergeant "Chuck" O'Conner. Sergeants Lee and Dailey left the Com- 
pany to attend the Army Candidates School at Langres. France, suc- 
cessfully completing the course after the Armistice was signed. 

The original officers of the company were : 1st Lt. Donald G. 
Hunter, 1st Lt. Wilson, 1st Lt. Skoning. 2nd Lts. Brown, Jacobson, 
Johnson, Nelson, and Anderson, all of whom have been transferred to 
other organizations. 

Uur officers while at tlie front were : Captain George P. Gurley, 
assigned to the Company in May. 1918 ; 1st Lt. .1. Sterling Kelley, and 
2nd Lt. L. C. Hazen who joined the Company during February, 1918 ; and 
2nd Lt. Warren S. Jamar who joined us in July. 1st Lt. Alvin J. 
Gable, whose driving and energetic personality was a main spring to 
the Company for more than a year, left the Company February, 1919, to 
take an assignment in Germany, taking with him Lee Bradley as an 
orderly. Lt. Wiedeman joined the Company in September. 1918. and 
for some time was on duty with the 3rd Battalion. An accident suf- 
fered at Commercy, France, .sent him to an S. O. S. hospital in Janu- 
ary. 1919. 2nd Lt. John H. Robel joined us in January, 1919. 

The Supply Company was organized by Capt. Daniel H. Sullivan 
who was succeeded by Capt. Cleveland Skinner in January, 1918. Due 
to ill health, Capt. Skinner secured an extended leave of absence and 
Capt. George P. Gurley, our last Company Commander, was assigned to 
the Regiment in May, 1918. 

The Supply Company ranked second to none in athletics during 
the fall of 1917. having the champion football team of the Regiment. 
The team was formed by such stars as Cecil Sarff and George Whitmer, 
who afterwards became members of the Divisional football team. 

Camp Dodge activities during the summer of 1918 were feverish in- 
deed, but no man slacked his duty. R. S. S. R. F. Klatt and Sergeant 
Mayer, with their assistants, handled the work at the Supply Office.

pissed throu.i;h our wareliouses very i-;;p:(lly. Theo. L. Pape was at 
this time <:ur Company Supply SiMfi^'fUit and was made a H. S. S. 
shortly after arrivinjj in France. The last two weeks before our de- 
parture for the pert of embarkation were busy ones. The work con- 
sisted of tnrninjj in e(iuipment, and drawinja: articles necess iry for 
overseas service. Net the least of our troubles were p-.u-kinsj;, wei.£fh- 
injr and marking the Kefjiniental freight which we never saw again. 
The mules had to stay at home, and we s\uv missed them en our hikes 
through France. Tlie journey across tlie United States may be said 
to have been the most comfortable of our travels. Our beds were berths 
in real Pullman cars and were quite a lot in contrast to those we have 
travelled in since. Instead of seeing "Tourist Pullman" we read "40 
Hommes, 8 Chevaux." 

The Company entrained at Camp Dodge August 5. lt»is. and after 
travelling three diiys and nights arrived at Camp Upton August Sth 
at 11:00 P. M. It was a happy and restful (?) three days that we 
spent at this camp, being undisturbed by intervals of sleep. Here we 
were equipijed with woolen clothing and over.seas caps. Pvt. Latham 
ilrove our Captain's side car and decided to come with us. but shortly 
after our arrival overseas was transferred as a motor cycle orderly to 
He-.idquarters Company. 

(Ml a beautiful ( V » Sunday UK-rning. August 11th. we U'ft Camp 
Upt(Mi at 2 :00 A. M. in a refreshing shower, which most of the men 
were inclined to call a flood, and this was the occasion on which the 
Supply Comphny's fortune deserted il. We huddled agiinst the depot 
for hoiu'S (more or less) in the rain, and secured oiu- final initiation in 
the discomforts of overseas caps; then when it came oiu" tiu'u to en- 
train, the cars were full. We were finally packed into the cars with 
our p;icks and rifles and were rushed to Hoboken. then, by ferry, to 
pier No. 2'.'. at P.rooklyn. Tt was here that we embarked for overseas 
on the English Transport "Delta." measuring the gangplank to the 
tuiu' of Tipperary. played by the .■!r)Oth liand. 

Oiu- trip across the Atlantic was undisturbed, save the excitement 
caused by a huge whale and the sight of an iceberg somewhere near 
the coast of Iceland. The iceberg made itself felt, as well as seen, in 
the baths. In spite of the boat drills, crowded hammocks, and food 
that utterly robbed us of our apix»tities. most of the men look back 
upon the trip with pleasure, unless it he Mess Sergeant Haley. Cook 
Oitch, and Olie Morris, who contributed most of their daily rations to

the sea faring creatures. After a fourteen day voyage we landed at 
Tilbury Doclcs, London, August 2r)th and happiness again was oiu's. 

At New York we received what seemed destined to be our com- 
panions for miuiy weeks — some seven hundred boxes of ammunition, a 
car load of machine guns and numerous other articles of combat equip- 
ment. How we learned to know eacli box will be observed in the re- 
mainder of our history. 

Out of the Delta's hold, across docks and into one of John Bull's 
trains we carried the loveable boxes, and they rode peaceably for us' 
until we arrived in Clierbourg, France. After partaking of the dainties 
of the English Red Cross, we entrained on .John Bull's passenger cars 
and were taken to a Rest Camp at Romsey. England. Here again, we 
lost some very valuable comforts ; for after the so-called rest of two 
days was ended, we hiked to Southampton, which was admittedly the 
hardest hike of all. Our new hob-nails blistered our feet, our backs 
became fatigued, and by the time we were marched across another 
gang-plank onto the "Maid of Orleans," any man would have said that 
his pack weighed more than seventy-five pounds. Our Channel voyage 
was undisturbed. We satisfied (?) our appetities by getting sandwiche.'i 
from the Steward, and after a seven hours ride we landed in Cherbourg, 
France, the morning of August 29tli. Then out of the hold of the 
"Miid of Orleans" (we were becoming professional stevedores) we car- 
ried our red striped boxes on to the first French trains we had ever 
seen. Here we tarried at another Rest Camp over night. 

At Semur. where we arrived September 1st. oiu- old familiar boxes 
came off the cars and stayed under our loving care for several weeks: 
guarded by a detail camped in nearby French Railway carriages, and 
eating wlierever it could get food. From Semur we went to the village 
of Forleans, and it was at this place where the Company received its 
first close order drill since its arrival in Europe. We hiked each day in 
the soft gentle rain which continued to fall, until we moved to Les 
Laumes on September 18th. Here we loaded our boxes on another 
train, and at 11 :00 that night we unloaded them at Hericourt. We 
snatched a night's sleep in the theatre and it was here we got our first 
introduction to aeroplane scares. That night a native doused our 
glim by announcing that Boche planes were in the air and for us to ex- 
tinguish our lights. The next djiy our well worn boxes went into trucks 
again and were hauled to Chagey where they recuperated for more 
than a fortnight. 

At Chagey we received our first mail from the states since our 
arrival in France. It was here that the Supply Company was divided 
for the first time, and assigned to the battalions. Sergeants Klatt and 
Artz left the Company and went to the Officers training school at 
Langres. Ordnance Sergeant O. T. Bates and others from our Ordnance 
Detachment went as an advance party to the front line trenches and 
were tlie first men in the organization to see action. At this time 
several of oiu' men took the Influenza and went to the hospital.

7th. Here one of our holidays was to ride back on occasional trucks 
and wagons after our comrades, the red striped lioxes. At Ileppe they 
•went into oiu- Regimental Munitions i>ump. 

Otu' stay at Iteppe was bles.-'ed with comfortable quarters and 
plenty of excitement. Sergeant Stika was sent to the Gas School and 
became our (Jas Sergeant. Debolt of the M. P.'s joined tis and was 
attached to us from that time, taking part in several incidents that 
required his attention, and settling quite a number of disputes. It 
was abo at Keppe that we lost two of our good men. Harry Boline and 
Kenneth I'atton. who died with Influenza, those being the only deatlis 
in tlie company. 

Speaking of the famous bombardment : well, we were in it. or at 
least some of us. Lt. Kelley, Regimental Munitions Officer, heard the 
noise and believing it to be American ammunition that was being ex- 
pended, rushed his detacliment into trucks and burned up the road for 
Balschwiller. arriving after the first spasm was over. The German 
Artillery, somehow, got wise to his arrival and commenced putting on 
a second performante for him. It was then that a loud and autlientic 
voice rang out. saying : "All American soldiers off the street and let 
the supply company unload the grenades." We did ; ran the tri;cks up 
as far as possible and evacuated some of the wounded. 

A few days later the Germans presented some 77 shells to a wagon 
train while on the oi>en road, but outside of splashing a little mud and 
scaring .several teams, no damage was done. It was while the outfit 
was up at the front that the first pay day in France popped up. Then 
the 37 mm platoon of the Headquarters Company decided that the Sup- 
ply Company hadn't enough excitement, and proceeded to open up on 
Reppe. After removing a corner of a barn and spoiling and disrupting 
the peace of the blacksmith's fliop. they reconsidered and changed their 
range. It cost them forty francs but then wo always did want a win 
dow on that side of the barn. 

October 2sth \\-e were told to vamoose. So on the night of October 
29th we polished our hob-nails on a "beaucoup" hike to Rougegoutte. It 
was during this night that R. S. S. Dailey wandered all night with his 
horse trying to find the village, and finally wandered back to Reppo 
the next morning very hungry and tired. We hoped that the ammuni- 
tion wi' had so iKM'sistently loaded and unloaded had been left in the 
trenches, Imt up she bobbed again by the truck load. Billets at Rouge- 
goutte were too good to lat t, so on November 7th we sprinkled rolling

stock along the road to Belfort and entrained for "somewhere." This 
somewhere happened to be a railhead northeast of Toul. We and the 
beloved ammunition took possession of Hamonville and had just about 
made ourselves comfortable when we were ordered to move one station 
north to Mandres. Mandres had one advantage over previous billets. 
It had been shelled, bombed and generally mussed up to the extent that 
the civilian population had surrendered to the rats. Outside the fact 
that several roofs were missing, and that the rats insisted on having 
their game of tag on our bunks at midnight, everything was lovely. 

Thanksgiving had its bitters as well as its: sweets. Olives, mince 
pie and all such fixings with an order to be on the road early the next 
day. November 29th we shuffled the gravel, hoofing it to Commei'cy, D 
and Supply Companies hiking from five A. M. to four P'. M. with only 
five minutes rest each hour, nothing to eat and making 45 kilometers. 
The next day we completed the hike of ;^0 kilometers to Menaucourt. 

Christmas was some day. Feed, slum and everything. Beaucoup 
horses' arrived and kept us busy getting them in shape which we finally 
did and took a few prizes with them.

THIS is a picture of three refined French maids who hve in 
the httle village of Naix-aux-Forges, France. They are not 
the Madamoiselles of song and fiction. When war broke 
out in 1914 these three girls (all under nineteen years of age) 
were attending what corresponds to an American high school, in 
the city of Commercy. They were sent to their homes on the 
opening of hostilities, and because of the severe restrictions put 
upon civilian travel during the war none of them was permitted 
to visit even the next village, two kilometers away, through the 
four and a half years of fighting. Each of their fathers entered 
the Army. The girls laid aside their books and helped their 
mothers keep the home together and care for the younger 
children through the long years of anxiety and retrenchment. 
Such moments as they did have for study they spent on English, 
and with the help of the American soldiers who were billeted in 
their homes from time to time they gained a useful knowledge of 
our language. The girl on the right is the daughter of the Mayor 
of Naix, the girl in the center is her cousin, and the young lady 
on the left is the daughter of the villagfe schoolmaster.

Ox one of tliose traditionally torrid Kansas mornings in tlio latter 
part of August, 1917. a notice posted at the Headquarters of the 
Medical Training Camp at Fort Riley stated that Lts. C. M. Dar- 
gan, M. L. Ransom, AV. W. Harrington and H. C. Irvin of the Medical 
Corps and 17 men would go to Camp Dodge. Iowa, as the nucleus of 
the Medical Department of a new National Army regiment. That was 
our beginning. A toss of the coin gave us three sergeants, Howard E. 
Doran as top-sergeant, Frank Haas and Guy C. Stutzman ; "Stutz" was 
the youngest and having just graduated from Knox College was put in 
charge of the paper work. Next day. August 25th, a train of decrepit 
Wabash day coaches left the Union Pacific Station with our group and 
250 other officers and men l)Ound for Des Moines. 

Next day at noon time found us dragging through the dusty, sandy, 
unpaved streets of the )iew camp. There were no lights, water or beds. 
We took possession of a newly constructed barrack on Main street near 
the Arsenal, and discovering that a mess had been started over in the 
new Camp Bakery, left it bare of chow. The camp at that time was 
nothing more than a crazy man's dream of half completed wooden 
barracks, corn fields torn up by sewer digging machines and a horde of 
mechanics and laborers hurrying to get the place in shape for the 
arrival of the selected service men. Water was so scarce that Fellers 
was arrested and dragged off to the guard house for washing oft his 
razor. Cleanliness almost meant court-martial those days unless yoii 
sprinklod your face and hands when the sentry's face was turned. 

Shortly after the arrival of the first contingent of the National 
Army the Infirmary Building, in the future regimental area near 19th 
Street, was completed. There was no transportation of any kind to 
help move. Sergeant Doran found an old ambulance held together 
with wires and ropes. It looked as If it might hold together to move 
some of the iron beds and mattresses acquired a few days previously. 
The Medics proved to be willing horses and by hitching and pulling 
dragged all their belongings a mile and a half farther north. 

On September 20th some newly arrived men were added to the 
roster and they were put to work assisting in the routine examination 
■of the recruits. It was here that Lapin and Nagel became famous as 
the Eye Specialists and Lt. Harrington with Benson and Jensen as the 
Needle Trio. Many were the heroes of the A. E. F. who became inocu- 
lated with the anti-typhoid serum at their hands. Their greatest day 
was when Earl Caddock, the World's Champion Wrestler, yielded on 
■"points." • 

Early in October began the training and lecture work in earnest. 
It was found that Marker had been a former cook at the Chamberlain 
and he was set to work to start the mess. Those were the days when 
meals seemed like banquets and on Sundays a riot of chicken and ice 
cream. Harmer became chief of the Pill House but later was succeeded

The months ( f Novendter and Decendter passed, l)ein}j noted for 
the dei)arture of nearly all the men who had e<mie to cauip earlier in 
the autumn. At one time the .Medical Detachment of 'AS men was the

Si'rjieanl Doran iefl for (ilTlcers" Trainin.s; School and SeriteanI Haas 
took over his hurdens. Lis. .lolni \V. Klder Jind Samuel Toiikins com-

severe illness, was released and I.I. Kvans ariived freni Ft. Riley. It

suhjects pharmaci'Utical. includiiiii the nature and compost ion of Khin-

fhey were! It seemed as thoujih the Supply Compiiny had worked its 
spiie olf on tlu- Medics. Jensen was put in charge of the l)jirn. Joe 
Dwyer and Feldmann fell in foi- the cart and Mullen and Kellers as 
moulded orderlies eared for the riding horses. In time, after clipping 

iiid i)roperIy grooming the animals, we liad a siileiidid outtit. 

The beginning of spring still found us without any inuuediate 
prosiiects of .going across to France. Sergeants Haas and Don I>rew<'r 
became restless: so giving uj) the bright lights they tiuaied to things of 
a more soudier color and transferrc>d to the Medical Detachment of a 
colored I'ioneer Battalion which was seheduled to start overseas. "Stutz"

For nearly two weeks a factory building holding nearly oOO .'iclv men 
and every other available billet were crowded. 

October r»tli we started on the thirty mile hike to the front line 
trenches in Alsace east of Belfort : the tirst and second battalions oc- 
cupying the advance .sector near Hecken and Balschwiller and the third 
at St. Cosme in reserve. Headquarters Detachment was stationed at 
Brechaumont. It was here that Breunig became famous for his aero- 
plane observations. On the evening of October 12th wdiile Captain 
Kooney and Boyd. Nicholson, ;ind Feeney were in the advance station 
at Balschwiller. the Germans sent a raiding party over preceded by a 
box barrage. There was plenty of business and little .sleep for the 
rest of the night. In the latter part of October, the third battalion re- 
lieved the second and the first was relieved by a part of the ?>4yth. 
About Xovend)er 1st the regiment was sent to a rest area and billeted at 
Giromagny. Captain Irvin who had been in poor liealth went to the 
hospital and was later returned to the States. 

When the regiment was transferred to the Tool front November 
Tth for the drive against Metz it looked as though the Medics would 
have their hands full. The armistice was signed, liowever. just as the 
advance was ordered and we remained in the nearby billets: the first 
battalion at Bois De liehanne and Mandres. the second at Andilly and 
Sanze.v. and the third battalion and Headquarters at the Bois de 
L:igne.v. Captai)i Harrington and Lt. Evans of the first battalion were 
relieved by Captain Garner F. Parker and Lt. Wm. J. Hawes of the 
Sanitary Train. Lt. L. B. Criunrine, also of the Sanitary Train, arrived 
to take Captain Irvin's i)Iace in the .second battalion. Thanksgiving Day 
was celebrated with roast pig and b.v p.icking up to move to a new 
Itilleting area. Next day began the long two day hike to the Gondre- 
court district, ol' miles away. We were assigned to five French vil- 
lages of the usual type : Longeaux. where Co. "B" and Co. "K" were lo- 
cated witli Lt. Topkins in charge, was perhaps most typical.

COMPANY A 



distort) of (llompaitu ^ 



ON September 5, 1917, the First National Army Draft brouglit to 
Camp Dodge a group of men, some of wliom were assigned to 
barracks in tlie lower part of the rapidly growing cantonment 
and told that their address for an indefinite period of time would be 
""Co. A, 350th Infantry." The officer personnel of our skeleton company 
consisted of Capt. I. E. Wight, Lt. Wilson, Lt. Fred Skoning, Lt. Lloyd 
E. Musburger, Lt. Harold B. Meyer, Lt. Frank S. Peikins and Lt. N. 
Landers. The duty of preparing for the Hun-husking task was im- 
mediately assumed and the company was gradually strengthened by re- 
cruits from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Missouri. After months 
of intensified training we were finally ordered to prepare for overseas 
duty. 

At noon of the fourth day of August, 1918, we entrained together 
with Company B of the same regiment. The officer personnel at this 
time consisted of Capt. Marion Y. Fonville, Lts. Patterson, Musburger, 
Lynch, Meyer, Gerstenkorn and Beebe. 

We left on the Rock Island on a Ptillman train and arrived at 
Chicago at midnight where we were switched to the New York Cen- 
tral. On the following afternoon our train stopped at Cleveland, Ohio, 
where all enjoyed a swim in Lake Erie. After the swim the Red Cross 
of Cleveland fed us on pies until there was not even a Missourian, 
(claimed to be proficient at pie eating contests) but had had his inner 
man satisfied. We boarded the train at 5 :00 o'clock and continued our 
eastward trip. On the morning of the sixth we passed along the 
Hudson river with all its beautiful scenery. At 11.00 A. M. we reached 
Weehawken. N. J., where we detrained and went via Ferry down East 
River, passing under the famous Brooklyn Bridge and in view of the 
towering skyscraper skyline of New York City. We landed on Long 
Island where the company entrained for Camp Upton. We remained 
Iiere five days and were outfitted with over-seas equipment. 

On August 11th we sailed out of New York Harbor on the English 
ship "Delta," accompanied by a convoy of thirteen ships loaded with 
Y^anks and all with one object, namely, to reach the battlefields of 
France. The trip, though uneventful, was enjoyable with calm weather 
all of the way. On August 25th the company landed at Tilbury 
Docks, England, and from there we took a train to Romsey where we 
stayed three days at Camp Woodley, an American rest camp. 

The company departed from Romsey on foot the 28th of August 
and went to Southampton where we embarked on the "Maid of 
Orleans" and the next morning found us at Cherbourg, France. From 
Cherbourg we hiked to a rest camp three miles out where we rested

Senmr the company liiked to 'i'ontry. a distance of 1."i miles. At Toutry 
we \\(fe i;i\"en a heart.v welcome \>y the women and children, who had 
never seen Yankee soldiers before. The inhabitants and their methods of 
livins seemed very (juaint to the Itoys. They used crude farming imple- 
ments and oxen were their beasts of burden. The peasants wouhl c(mie 
clattoring down the streets in tlieir wooden shoes driving cows and 
geese, which all seemed strangely interesting to us. 

We left Tontrv after two weeks of intensive training and hiked 
to Les Lanmes where we entr;:ine(l and rode in the toy box cars 
to Hericourt. From Hericoiut the company hiked to ("hagey. a dis- 
tance of 1") kihmieters. Here we drilled for sixteen days in mud and 
rain, and like most of the companies had numerous cases of influenza, 
three of which i)roved fatal. 

On October 4tli we left Chagey for the front. After a long tiresome 
night hike we arrived at (Juvenatten. six kilometers behind the lines. 
^Ve remained liere tliree days in French barracks, resting up prepara- 
tory to making our initial appeannice in the front line trenches. Octo- 
ber 7th oiu- company, together with Compaiiy (', liiked to the (\ K. (Jild- 
willei- in the Haute Alsace Sector. 

Although during our four days" stay at the front we onl.v ex- 
changed a light tire with the Boclie. numerous incidents occurred, .some 
amusin.g. others not so much .so for the participants. One was the case 
of live or six of the men returning from the trenches to I'.attalion 
Head(jiiarters. On their wa.v the.v passed a de.serted apple orchard, 
and liaving an affection for the mellow fruit on the trees, they immed- 
iately started to appease their appetites. While all were partaking of 
the stolen sweets the Boclie dropped six or seven three-inch shells, 
some of them lighting within thirty yards of the apple thieves. Apples 
in j>lace of being uppermost in the minds of the boys were undermost 
as they flattened on their stomachs waiting for a cessation of the 
shelling, at which time the.v immediately left, not remembering to 
take back apples for any of their bunkies. 

Another incident was that of two ruiuiers. I'.otsford .-ind Uham.v, 
who narrowly escaped from a Fritzy by running, while the (Jernian 
was ai)plying the same method for his .safety. Botsford and Khamy 
were walking along about dusk one evening wlieii from an overlianglng 
Ixnigh there dropixvl a (Jerman who evidently was over on a tour of 
inspection. .Vs yet there has been no decision as to whether F.otsford. 
lihamy, or Fritzy made the best time in getting away.

.lohn Smith wa.s the man who saved the day with his hand grenades. 
John, accompanied by a Frenchman, was on Post No. 1. and a Boclie. 
possibly more, came near .Tolm's post and tired several shots over liis 
lioad. Smitli innnediately opened hre witli French grenades, all of which 
refused to go off. He cliased away the enemy at any rate. The next 
night Smitli equipped himself with American grenades and had a similar 
experience except tliat the American grenades went off and the Germans 
never botlici'cd his jxist again. 

Chiude I'iplvin opened up on a I'oche one night and exchanged sliot 
for shot with tlie (Jerman until both I'ipkin's assistant on the post 
and the (lerman liad left.

were billeted for several days. From here we wciit to the Vauthiermont 
Woods ;!iid from there to L:i Planche La I'retre in the Vosges Moun- 
tains. Here was some of the finest scenery that we had seen in Franc(>. 
We left for I'.elfort on Xovendier Ttli where the comp:iny took a train 
aiul went to a reserve camp in the He Hanne woods. The men were 
ri'lieved <if all their surplus luggage and eagerly waited ordcM's to go 
into the big drive runH)red soon to take place. But alas, the armistice 
beat us to it and Company '"A'" saw no more action. On November 11th 
the big guns ceased their rumbling and news was herahU'd us tluit the 
"Roche Caput. La (Juerre Finie." 

On X(i\('mber .'JOth we started on a two days" liike to St. .loire. 
This was a hike of noiirl.v 70 kilometers which the company made 
in goo<l shape. In fact this hike was the longest, meanest, and hardest 
that we made. We remained in St. .loire a few days and hiked 
to Xaix-aux-Forges where the company remained uidil the move to

ON .September 1. I'.tlT. — not five inontlis after the formal declaration 
of war. when the hastily organized army of carpenters had 
scarcely hung windows and doors upon the huge homely bar- 
racks, Company "IV was being organized into what later proved one 
of the most renowned companies of the ooOtli Regiment. Capt. MDler, 
1st Lt. Burgman, 1st Lt. Fridlej, 2nd Lt. Burnett, 2nd Lt. Nlssen and 
2nd Lt. Jones were the pioneer officers, of which 1st Lt. Fridley and 
1st Lt. Nisseu were with the comp.my to the last day. A body of thirty 
men were assigned to tlie company at the time of the organization, six 
of whom remained with their outfit to the end. 

Immediately after the organization was completed intensive train- 
ing was tlie order of the day. This period of training extended from 
.Sep*^^ember 1, 1017. to August 4. 191S. During this period of 11 months 
approximately one thousand recruits were triiined to meet the supreme 
lest of a true American Soldier on foreign soil in his fight for Democ- 
racy. Men of nearly every state in the Union graced the ranks of the 
company. Four states in p.irticul:ir were heavily represented: Iowa, 
Minnesota. Nebraska and Missouri. The men of these progressive 
states later proved to be crack soldiers. Contingent after contingent 
came from Local Boards and other camps. But as fast as the men 
came into the company they were sent away. Some men were sent to 
other camps, others were retained for N. C. O.'s while some were sent 
to O. T. C, six of whom were commissioned as officers. But most 
of the men were sent to France. During the training i^eriod a few 
changes w(>re made in the command of the company. Capt. Miller was 
succeeded by Capt. McCoy; Capt. McCoy was succeeded by Capt. McKee. 
Also Lts. Swanson, and Dunham played no small part during the per- 
iod of training. 

All through these eleven months of training at Camp Dodge Com- 
pany "B" ranked high in the Regiment in its standard on the drill 
field, rifle i-ange and general conduct in barrack life. Col. Price re- 
marked after one of the Regimental Reviews that a certain Platoon 
in Company "B" p.issed tlie best review. 

The May draft brought in a new contingent of i"aw but fine ma- 
terial. On June 10, 1918, 130 new. but husky and alert men were as- 
signed to the company. The officers and N. C. O.'s took a proud inter- 
est in their promising outfit. Soon followed the most strenuous days 
of training experienced by any American army unit. These men of grit 
stuck to their job without a whimper. Eagerly and anxiously the 
officers and nu>n loolced forward to the great day when they too could 
leave camp and do their bit in the World War. 

Finally the memorable day arrived. On Sunday Morning. August 
4, 191S, 1st Lt. Faricy took command of the company, which then num-

the day. Scarcely a man fell out. two men stuck to th<' ranks until 
Iliey fainted. After arriving at an I'higiish Cam)) the men were given 
a chance to rest and clean up. The following day the men received 
their first introduction to the well known I'^icnch Troo]) Train. For 
nearly two full (hiys and nights the men weie crammed and .jammed, 
while the cars .jolted and .jarred over the rails. At noon on Septeml)er 
1st the men detrained at Seniiu'. France, huu.gry and tired. In the 
heat of that aft(>rnoon. after a scanty "hard tack" dinner, the men strug- 
gled undi'r their heavy packs for ten miles over hilly and rocky roads. 
Not a sin.gle man dropped out. Late that night the comi>any was bil- 
leted in their first French Village. Toiitry. France. Here two weeks of 
strenuous training followed. At this jilace HI men from Camp Cpton. 
X. Y. weri' add(>d to the company. 

( »n September ITth the Comiiaiiy left Toiitry and after a, two day 
hike arrived at Les Laumes wlieic the box cars and flat cars again were 
used, .\fter a night ride in the cold and rain the unit detrained at 
Ik'ricourt. The company was then billeted at Chagey near Ilericourt 
wheie comp'.iii.v IIea<l(iuarters remained from September T.ltli to Octo- 
bei' nth inclusive. It was at Chage.v where the men received their tinal 
trainin.g for tiench and open warfare before .going to the front. Here 
they were fully e(pupped with all trench equii)ment. 

( >n the morning of Sei)tember L'.lth Ft. Swanson took !.'."> men from 
"IV company and 100 men from the Isi I'.attalion to the fi'ont line 
trenches. [n a drenching rain and through flooded lowlands they 
marchc(l. As the hoys were plodding through mud and water nearly up 
to their knees and rain pelting on their backs, the Lieutenant called out 
at the top of his voice. -Colinnn left. Swim." The new command 
struck the kev to the chord. "Hail. Hail, the (Jang's AH Here." 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 123 

Another memorable occurrence at Cliagey was tlie "Flu". Nearly 
100 men of the company were taken down with it. Yet the company 
came out with a worthy record. liavin,iii; lost only two men by the oft'- 
times fatal epidemic. The order to go to the front came under very 
adverse conditions. Consequently the company was compelled to leave 
for the front with only 104 men: For two nights the men plodded and 
tugged under their packs through mud and rain. One hike will always 
be remembered by the boys as the most severe during the days of the 
war. in which a distance of 20 miles was made under bad conditions. 

On October lltli Company "B" with Company "D" took over a por- 
tion of the C. K. (Jildwiller near Hecken. During this time at the front 
the Company experienced several heavy bombardments. Xot a single 
man was lost in action. Only one man was wounded, a runner, who 
suffered a fractured leg while carrying a message from Battalion Head- 
quarters to the front lines. On the night of October 22nd the Company 
was relieved by Company "K", 341)th Infantry. 

After being relieved the Company spent a week in the woods at 
Vauthiermont. Rest, cleaning-up and light drill became the order of 
the day. It was at this place that Capt. Sorrells from Company "M." 
8o2nd Infantry, took command of the company. It was here al.so that 
2nd Lt. Womer was added to the company. Upon leaving the above 
named camp a hike of IS miles took the unit to a village near Giro- 
magny. After another week's training in maneuvering the Company 
left with the Regiment for the Toul Sector. It can almost be said that 
the company was on the road to march into the attack east of Metz. 
Xovend>er 10th. when orders held the company until further notice. The 
following day the Armistice was signed. Strange to say, three men of 
the Company were injured on that same day by the explosion of a Ger- 
man hand grenade heated in a bon fire hardly fifteen minutes before the 
historic lltli hour. 

Thus Company "B"' played its part in the Great War. Though no 
great test was its lot yet every man was read.v to meet any emergenc.v. 
Later on the company played its part in the game of Patiently Waiting. 

APPENDIX 
GENERAL STEWART HALTED 

The "Top" gave Kuchta. an Americanized Polander, orders to roll 
his pack and take his junk to St. Joire and report to l.'t Lt. Nissen for 
orderly duties. The short, jolly, moonfaced, Polander rolled his pack 
and started down the road. Twelve kilos lay before him. His pack 
soon grew heavy and an idea struck him. "ITl stop de next car dat 
kums by." Soon from behind the curve he heard. KONK ! KONK !

road, threw up both hands and flagged the car. Out stepped an Officer : 
it was General Stewart. "My lad, what do you want?" said the Gen-

from?" "Company 'B', Sir." "What Battalion are you from?"

I^istoi^u of (iliimpany d 



THE first week in September, 1917, finds Compiuiy "C evolving 
itself in the midst of tlie dust and serap lumber of the new Camp 
Dodge. Captain Cronin, Lts. AVasson, Mahoney, Murphy and 
Warren from the 1st Officers Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minne- 
sota, and First Sergeant Kaplan and Sgts. Baker and Littleton from 
the regular army made up our first roll. Our first National Army re- 
cruits arrived on September 5th. By September 22nd we had grown 
to a strength of 135 and had moved into pur permanent regimental area 
between 18th and 20th streets. Dnj-ing the next sixty days, spent 
mostly on the drill field south of Herrold. and on practice marches over 
the Polk County roads and hills, we learned to look, feel and drill like 
soldiers and already had visions of an early departure to France. How- 
ever, our dreams were shattered when practically all of our men were 
transferred to the 34th and S7th Divisions and we were left with a 
skeleton organization of officers and N. C. O.'s. 

The next ninety days were taken up with officers' and N. C. O. 
schools. We learned the automatic rifle, had our first gas drill, learned 
our guard manual and perfected ourselves on close order drill. Our 
first shooting on the range came in January. Lieut. Noll joined the 
company during this period and Lieut. Murphy was transferred. Our 
new recruits arrived on February 23, 1918. They were soon equipped, 
drills started at once, and again we began to think and talk of an early 
departure for France. But on April 1st we began to be depleted by 
transfers and were soon back to our skeleton organization. Between 
April 2(jth and May 15th we trained our last recruits for other divisions 
and on Ma.v 28th our men arrived who were to complete our permanent 
organization. Central and Southern Nebraska and Missouri furnished 
the greater part of our new men. On June 8th Captain Cronin was ap- 
pointed Regimental Adjutant and Lt. Wasson was promoted to Captain 
and took command of the company. 

During June and July we went through the most intensive train- 
ing. Close order drill, bayonet practice and grenade throwing, followed 
in quick succession from early morning till night. Range firing and 
gas drill completed our training and we were ready to move. Lt. Mc- 
Laughlin joined the company at this time. 

On August 4th. at 12 :30 B. M.. we formed for the last time on 
our old company parade ground in front of Barrack No. 1015 and 
marched to the train. Companies "C and "D," with a small Medical De- 
tachment, entrained comfortably in toiuist cars, moved out of Camp 
Dodge at 2 :00 P. M. Arriving in South Chicago the next morning we 
detrained for a half hour's exercise. We continued on over the Nickel 
Plate and Liickawainia Railroads and arrived in Holioken on the morn-

We disemharked on Au.irust L'oth at Tilhury-oii-Tliames. lunula nd : 
entrained at once and after passinji tiiroujih lOast London arrived at 
Camp Woodley. Komsey. <ai the same afternoon. 

( »n the listh we nnide our first Ions march to Soutluimpton without 
losiiiii a man from the i-anks. After an afternoon's rest, we emliarked 
on the S. S. Maid of (Mieans and the next mornin.ii found us in the 
lijirlior of Clierhouru'. France. Anothi'r niart-h to the rest camp at 
'I'oin-leville. 

( »ur next trip from. Cherhour.t; to Hemur was made via the army 
I'ullnuni. Hommes 40. Chevaux s. whieli we hiter learned to appreciate. 
.\ short march brought us to Torey wliere wo went into our first billets. 
Hei-e we made our tirst ac(|naintaiu-e with the French people, learned 
a few most necessary French words, and how to chantie dollars into 
francs. 

On Seplemlter istli we marclied to I.es I.aumes. L'."> kilometers, and 
entrained for oiu- new trainin.s; area at Chajjey. arrivinjr there next day. 
Here we saw our lirst Hoche planes, received our fias nnisks. and IukI 
tinal instructions in the use of the automatic rifle. The Spani?h in 
tluenza epidemic arrived while we were here, and almost half the 
compan.v were affected by it more or less, althou.iih we were compara- 
tively fortunate in losinsr only two men liy death. 

(Ml September "JStli tweiity-Hve men were fully e(|uipped and sent 
forward as advance jiarty to tli(> trenches. 

On October ."ith the company itself started its loiiji march to the 
lines. Hy 1 :(ti» .\. .M. the next mornin.s; we had reached Doran where 
we Idlleteil for the nisht. Startinj; after dinner a march of 1.'! kilo-

The fourth, third and second platoons occupied the front lines in order

from left to right. The Uth Company of the 4!)th Kattalion of Alpine 
Chasseur.*' and our own advance party of 2.") nien were already oceupy- 
inff the lines when we arrived. The platoons were divided into .groups 
and posted by reliefs at the observation posts. I.t. MeDonough joined 
the comixiny here. During the day dugouts were eh-aned out and shelt- 
ers constructed, while at tlie same rime we U-arni'd tlie plan of defense 
and the necessity of Iveeping out of siglit at all times. 

Daily artillery fire exchanged over our heads or scattered along ouv 
lines and visits from the Roche planes furnislied some excitement, but 
all were disappointed in not getting an opportunity at the Boclie with 
rifles or grenades. 

About midnight of October llth-lUtli. ("omp^my "D" was ordered to 
relieve us. Soon after midnight we were on tlie march into support at 
(ruevenatten. The next evening about seven 1'. M. the Boche raided 
the sector soutli of us and wc lieard our first heavy artillery firing. 
After four days in suppnrt at (Uicvcnattcn we moved forward to Hecken 
and Gildwilh'r. immediately in tlie rear of tlie lines, relieving tlie !»tli 
Company of the 4!)th Battalion of Chasseurs. 

During our i-ix days here we bad our first experience on patrols 
and working parties in No Man's land. Eacli night working parties 
were furnished by the company which cleaned out and repaired the old 
(•(•mmuniciiting trendies toward Ammertzwiller. Boche planes Avere al- 
most continuously active during' the day and each evening soon after 
supper a scattering fire of artillery always arrived, doing no damage. 

On the night of the "Jl'iid our whole Battalion was relieved by the 
8rd Battalion of the o4!)tli Infantry and soon after midnight we had 
marched back into regimental reserve ;it Vautliiermont. 

After a week's stay here we nnirched over into the Vo.sges moun- 
tains, to Vescemont. 

On November Stli we marched to Belfort and entrained for the 
Tout .Sector. Arriving the next day at the rail head near Royaumeix we 
unloaded the train and reached our billets in Bois de Rehanne soon 
after dark. A\'ariiing orders for the advance to the lines were received 
the next day and on the night of November '.itli we were ready for a 
march to Thiaucourt where we were to support the 2Sth Infantry and 
take up the attack near Dampvitoux on the morning of the 11th. Th^ 
signing of the armistice brought a cancellation of our orders and the 
great drive before ]\Ietz in which we were to take part never occiu'red. 

We left Bois de Rehanne on November 30th and after making 
our record two-day-ma rcli of Go kilometers we reached St. Joire and 
a few days later Naix-aux-Forges where we immediately prepared to 
make ourselves as comfortable as possible for a winter of maneuvers 
and rumors of sailing orders for home.

I^tstorti of Compmru 4B 



COMPANY "D"\ 350tli Infantry, sttirrcd to fnnrtinn ;is such on tlic 
first of September. 11)17. ( >n this dtitc ("aittain .lolni .1. Ahciii. 
formerly of the St. I'aul Dail.v Xi-ws. received lii.s assignment 
to said company and proceeded immediately to put it on the map. The 
third of September, 1917. five lieiitenants were added to the fold and 
on the fifth came the company's proportion of the first famous five 
per cent whose duty it was to prov(> wlictlicr conscription was or was 
not to he a success. The .solution of tliis Company's prolilem ai'rivcd 
simultaneousl.v with it. thougli from an entirely different source, in the 
foi-m of Corpora! Tliomas 11. l>lacl<. late of tiic Third Infantr.v. A\'ith 
a }n\\ s'.T foi- business and fists hardened liy years of Kegulai' ,Vrn).\' 
experience lie proceeded to mal<e sol(li(>is witli such succes; that when 
the September 20th increment arrived those of the fifth could .siive 
valuable assistance. This was opportun.e. as Corporal Black had by this 
time l)een made First Sergeant, and h;.d duties other than drillin,g 
recruits. 

Such was the story of each addition. The officers. First Ser.geant 
and old timers, from several months to as many weeks, would pass on 
to the l.ate civilians what was what. This cooperation became so 
effective through practice (of which we h;;d a great deal, as we would 
get oi!i- (luota (Mdy to transfer most of it to other camps) that when 
our liiial increments arrived May MO, lOl.s. tlie Missourians were showin.g 
so mucii in sucli a short time tliat on August 4. lOls. we lioarded the 
train with France our ultimate destination. 

At tills point Ihe company sulfered a severe loss in tlie person of 
Captain Ahern. who was promoted to ^la.ior. C.iptaiu Ahern was 
universally liked b.v officers and men alike. He was a strict disciplin- 
arian, but Ills orders were always tempered with .iustice and foresi.ght. 
His chief concern was the comfort and welfare of th().se in his charge. 
His efficiency justly gave him higher rank, however, so that the only 
legitimate regret tlie company had was tlnit it did not fail to its lot to 
.get him as P.attalion Commander. 

The trip across the I'liited Slates by train to Camp T'ptoii was 
glorious. Our friendly neighbors for a year. Company "C". .'[."iOth 
Infantry, were with us and we were all in spirits to heartily reciprocat<' 
with the ^end offs e.icli and ever,vb(;dy accorded us eiiroute. 

At Camp I'ptou we stayed lon.g enough to miss three nights sleep 
and c-atch our over.seas eipiipment on the run. The morning of the 
11th of August found Comp.iny "D" leading the First Battalion up the 
gang plank of tlie good ship Delta to the tune of. "We Won't b(> liack 
T'ntil It's Over. Over There", played by the Kegimental liaiid. 

Alxmt the only thing tliat needs to be mentioned here about tlie 
trip across the Atlantic is that tlu' weather was excellent and that the 
other extreme was well taken care of by the perfume of curry. 



130 THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 



We liiiidcd at 'I'ilhiny docks and fidiii Ilicrc were takfii Ity trains to 
the rest camp at Uoiusey. Here we "rested" for several days and tlien 
proceeded to get our first taste of real work in the shape of a hike in 
full equipment to Soutliampton. There the n'st of the Battalion was 
ruslied out that night to cross the cliannel, while "D" was fortunately 
left behind. We really rested at this rest camp that night and were 
in a happy mood when we received our order next morning to start at 
2:15 P. M. By seven P. M. we were calmly sailing for France, rein- 
forced by a Captain, two Lieutenants, and twelve enlisted men who 
had been left behind by tlieir organizations, due to the charms of 
Southampton. 

From the time we landed in Cherbourg. Aiigu.'t 30th, until we wont 
into the trenches on October 11th, the story of Company -D" is probably 
that of the rest of the .S8th Division. Our particular points of activity 
were Pouligny, Chagey and Guevenatten. There were, however, two 
matters of decided importance that intervened during this interim. 

While at I'ouligny. thirty-one recruits joined us. These were 
assigned to the Company at Camp Upton, bdt attached to Company "L", 
.•t.'iOth. for transport^jition over seas. Rumors had it that these men 
were of the type that would keep the guard house flooded. They did 
not live up to their reputation but on the other hand stepped forth 
like the real men they were and willingly did their share to maintain 
the high standard already set by the rest of the personnel. 

While at Chagey quite a nnnilier were stricken with Spanish 
Influenza and as a result Company "D" had its first loss by death 
since its organization. The men who died were one and all excellent 
soldiers and nothing but the highest praise would do them justice. We 
have all. more or less, tried to do our "bit" but there is no doul)t that 
tlicy have done theirs. 

On October 11th Company '•D" relieved Company "C" in the 
Gildwiller-Sur-Le-Mont Sector. The relief was quickly made, thanks 
to Lt. Greenwalt and a detachment of enlisted men from the Battalion 
who had been in the sector with the French for two weeks. All was 
quiet the first night and day. S(»on. h(»wever. the Boche woke up. 

On the night of the liMli and I'.Uh. simultaneously with the second 
Battalion. o.jOth. on our right, the first I'.attalion. in conjunction with 
the 4!»th Chassoius in the sector, were to advance the lines to beyond 
Ammertzwiller. The r.oche was putting on a party of his own that 
night, however, at Balschwiller. in the second Battalion sector, and so 
as not to slight us .sent in our midst enough shrapnel and high 
explosive to cau.se the French Biittalion C. O. to change his mind and 
postpone operations until the next nigiit. Accordingly, on the night of 
the 13th and 14th. at C. :1.". 1'. M. the .second platoon of Company "D", 
luider Lt. Forbes, and lifteen French .soldiers in charge of their 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 131 

sergeants:, passed out the Vaftier Sappe, across to Ammertzwiller, 
reconuoitered their proposed positions and had everytliiug according 
to specifications by shortly after midnight. One-half of the fourth 
platoon, mider Lt. Womer, were supporting them about three hundred 
meters back. All would have undoubtedly been well but for the fact 
that about fifty Germans were all this time resting in the cellars of 
.some of the ruins of Ammertzwiller, directly in line with some of our 
P.P.s. The French had reconnoitered and pronounced all clear, 
so naturally the outposts were rather disconcerted when daylight 
brought a deluge of Germans upon them from various dii'ections. At 
the same time the German Artillery opened up overhead. Lack of 
space forbids details and all that can be given here is resxilts. By 
eight o'clock the following night all the French and all but one of 
Company "D's" men had returned, bringing two German prisoners. 
The one missing. Pvt. Anthony Mernofski. was wounded and captured, 
but escaped before the Armistice and returned shortly thereafter. He 
reported that between twelve and fifteen Germans were killed. The 
admiration of the French for the Americans was freely expressed by 
the French Sergeants in their reports ; as a result four members of this 
company wear the "Croix-de-Gueri*e" ; they are : 

2nd Lt. Lowell L. Forbes. 

Corp. Richard M. Franta. 

Pvt. 1st cl. Emanuel Hauff. 

Pvt. 1st cl. John S. Zarifes. 

The remaining nine days this company was iu the trenches were 
enlivened only by occasional shelling from which we had one casualty, 
Pvt. Daniel Maldonado, who had his jawbone fractured by a piece of 
shrapnel. Our last two days almost stunned us with prosperity. We 
received foiu- decorations, three promotions among the officers, our 
first pay since leaving Camp Dodge, and an issue of socks. 

After all this the hike to Vauthiermont the night of the relief was 
a pleasure trip, though it was four A.M. before we arrived there. The 
next day we stood reveille at eleven thirty, with mess-kits, lined by 
the rolling kitchen. Not a man or officer missed the formation. 

Jaunts from Vauthiermont to Yescemont and then by way of Belfort 
to the Toul Sector has its memories of sore backs, empty stomachs, 
crowded "side-door pullmans" etc., but let them rest. 

The armistice found usi at Mandres stripped for action and under 
orders to proceed above Thiaucourt to do our bit in giving the Boche 
his knock-out blow. 

After lingering at Mandres until the latter part of November 
the movement of the Division to the Gondrecourt area gave us a seventy 
kilometer hike to St. Joire which commenced at 5 :00 A.M. one morning 
and terminated at 10:00 P. M. the day following. Thei-e were six

History of (Homp^nu % 



Up aiul down the streets of Camp Dodge, in dust and in mud, through 
twelve weary months the process of transforming men into soldiers, 
and civilians-in-uuiform into officers, went wearily along. All 
cast longing eyes toward the beauties of France ; the less exacting 
hours of drill across the sea, and the excitement of the trenches. At 
last it came — August fourth was entraining day ; beastly hot — 
remember? — and along with the rest we were crowded in COMMON 
pullmans. Then across the States, across the sea, from London 
to Southampton — cheers, whistles, flags, wherever folks could be to 
greet us. A night trip across the channel and landing at Cherbourg. 
France, August 31st, 1918. After three days' travel on — but why 
dwell on those days? Training for the trenches began at Courcelles les 
Semur, Cote d'Or. Two weeks of training here, then a march to Les 
Laumes where we entrained for Hericourt and marched to Brevillers, 
arriving September 19th. Trench equipment was issued and things 
began to happen, for our mail at last caught up to us. From here we 
sent up our advance partj^ to learn of our sector in Alsace, consisting 
of Lt. Oscar J. Nelson, Sergeants Carl L. Pettard. Henry A. Barkelew 
and Corporals Adolf W. Anderson and Lawrence W. Faber. October 6tli 
the march to the front began with a stop for a day at Danjoutin and 
a fifteen kilometer march to Traubach la Bas, arriving there October 
8, 1918. Companies "E" and "F" moved up to Balschwiller and 
occupied the front line trenches in connection with the Sixty-fifth French 
Chasseurs. The trenches were held for four days with nothing event- 
ful other than the patrols, wading in mud, and encountering many rats. 

On the night of the 12th, this Company was to be part of a working 
party in connection with the taking over of Boche trenches. Part of 
the Company had left Traubach la Bas when a section of the M. G. 
Company broke into the line of connecting files and the remainder of 
our Company followed them a couple hundred yards down the wrong 
road. The delay of returning and getting on the right road, however, 
was probably the salvation of the Company. The Boche barrage fell 
heavily in the area that no doubt would have been occupied by a large 
part of the Comi>any. Captain Heni-y A. House with the fourth 
platoon sergeants. Nelson, Laird, Conners and Faber had been directed 
to tape the lines for the working party. Lt. Oscar J. Nelson was with 
a special party of twenty-three "E" Company men to get further 
instruction in raiding work from French Officers. Lts. A'ernon E. 
Hodges and Erne F. Apfeld were with the Captain's party ; Lt. Alonzo 
C. Brackett was at Battalion Headquarters as Gas Officer and upon 
Lt. Floyd H. Gilliland rested all the responsibility for the Company. 
The men had never been under shell fire : the night was pitch dark.

COMPANY "F" began its existence, in common witli tlie otlier 
companies of the regiment, abont the end of August, 1917. Most of 
the ofCieers reported by August 29tli. Thej' were assigned to com- 
panies and a week hiter the first five per cent of tlie first increment of 
drafted men reported. It was not until Sptember lOtli tliat men in num- 
bers were sent to Camp Dodge ; but tliereafter, and for a period covering 
almost a year, the process of training recruits, transferring them to 
more fortunate organizations and training others in their stead l^ep't up 
undiminished. 



While at Camp Dodge, the asdgned officers of the Company were 
as follows : Captain Peter V. Brethorst ; 1st Lts. Wallace Scamehorn. 
Charles D. AVaterman, Carey E. Campbell ; 2nd Lts. John H. Robel, and 
Arthur J. Seaton. On leaving for overseas, Lieutenants Scamehorn 
and Seaton were left behind but the company gained abroad 2nd Lts. 
Harry C. Spoo and Ernest C. Semans. 

Towards the end of July, 1918, the SSth Division received its over- 
seas orders, and on Sunday, August 4tli, Company "P", together witli 
Company "E", of the same Battalion, entrained for the coast. They 
were routed over the Great Western to Chicago, and from there over 
tlie Erie to Jersey City. The courtesy of the Red Cross and the inhabi- 
tants along the way made the journey less tedious. Jersey City was 
reached on the 7tli. The companies ferried to Long Island City and there 
entrained for Camp Upton, seventy miles north, detraining at 6 :30 P.M. 

Three days were spent at Upton in outfitting the troops, and on 
Sunday morning, August 11th, at 2 :00 A.M. they again entrained for 
Long Island City, detrained and ferried to Brooklyn and embarked 
about 11 :00 AM. on the S.S. Delta, a British vessel drawn from the 
Indian trade. The Company wei-e assigned to decks "C" and "E", badly 
ventilated holes that smelted to heaven, and prospects were not bettered 
by the food, which began poorly and continued to come in diminishing 
quantities and with added smells. 



The convoy of which the Delta was a part crossed without incident 
and anchored at the mouth of the Thames on the afternoon of Saturday 
August 24th. The following afternoon, almost two weeks to the hour 
after embarking, the troops disembarked at Tilbury, England, and 
entrained at 3 :00 P.M. for Romsey. Romsey was reached at 9 :00 P.M. 
the same night, and the Company detrained and marclied a short dis- 
tance in a lieavy rain to Camp Woodley where board floors first served 
as bed and mattress for the men.

They were in charge of Ft. Watenuan. and left in French trucks which

Tranhach-le-Bas. 

The followin.i? da.v an order was received for a working party con- 
sisting of the entire Company to proceed into the tri'nches that night 
and estaldish trench communication with the German front line. The

with tifty meters distance between platoons. It was halted when its 
head arrived at the P.C. of Compan.v "IT", and the process of issuing 
i-ntrenching tools was begun. Before this work was fairl.v started, the 
(Jermans opened up an intensive bombardment, lasting for tifty minutes, 
occasioning thirteen casualties and the death of four men. Captain

when it again moved into the trenches and held its old sector until the 
night of October 28rd. It then proceeded into reserve at Trauliarh-le- 
Haut. At this point Captain J. H. Rusteme.ver took command. 

The .S41)th Infantr.v relieved our KeginuMit in the line and on October 
2()th. at 10 :(!."» P. M.. the Company marched seventeen kilometers to 
Chevremont. arriving there at two in the morning. The march was 
resumed at 8:20 P.M. on the thirtieth and the Compan.v arrived late 
that night at Rougegoutte, after covering thirty-two kilometers. 

The Compan.v remained at Rougegoutte until November 7th. when, 
on receipt of orders to proceed to the Tout Sector, it completed a day- 
light march of twelve kilometers to Belfort and entrained at 4.00 P.M. for 
Manoncourt. The Compan.v arrived on the morning of the eighth, 
detriiined and marched two kilometers to Andilly. 

At this time tho ]7r)th Brigade, of which our Ri-giment was a part, 
was detached from the Division and made the reserve of the IV. Corps in 
the Tout Sector in the projected drive to turn the flank at Metz. On 
Saturday, November 0th, orders were received to make up light packs 
and be in readiness at a moment's notice to move out for the front. 
The armistice, however, intervened and prevented our movement.

THIS Company was organized September 5, 1917. at Camp Dodge, 
Iowa, muler the captaincy of Oi'ren E. Safford. wlio remained its 
commanding officer until lie was captured October 12, 1918, at 
Balscliwiller. Alsace. He was succeeded in command by 1st Lt. Byron 
K. Kingsbury, who in turn was succeeded by 1st Lt. Neil H. Swanson, 
Captain William T. Faricy, 1st Lt. James P. Dudley and finally Cap- 
tain Willis G. Chase, from the Army of Occupation. 1st Lt. James 
I'. Dudley and Charles P. Lynch were associated with Captain Safford 
in the oi'ganization of the Company, the former having served continu- 
ously and the latter intermittently with the unit ever since. 

Men from four different drafts were trained in this Company, the 
last of whom, constituting its permanent i>ersonnel. were transported 
overseas August IG. 1918. after a brief sojourn at Camp Upton, L. I., 
N. Y. The British transport Kashmir was employed for the purpose, 
being a part of the convoy which landed in Liverpool. England. August 
1*8, 1918. 

After three days spent in an English camp near Winchester. 
England, a rough voyage over the English Channel was followed by a 
two days stop at a second British Camp at Cherbourg. France. When 
our stomachs had been sufficiently "rested," we proceeded in the con- 
ventional French troop trains to Semur, France. The little hamlet of 
Kuffey billeted us for a fortnight prior to our next move to the 
vicinity of Belfort for our final preliminary training, before taking up 
a front line position. We were practically a month at Brevilliers for 
this purpose, most of the time expended on open order work and in- 
struction in the use of the infantry arms. Following a never-to-be- 
forgotten night march we next arrived at rrraubach-Ie-Bas from 
which wo moved in the coui'se of a few days to the first line at Balsch- 
willer, Alsace, on the night of October 11, 1918. The Company was 
considerably depleted by sickness at this time. Fortunately, however, 
the French occupied this sector with us the first four days. 

The Company's position was immediately in front of the town of 
Balscliwiller, being the right Company of the Battalion sector. 1st 
Lt. Jamesi P. Dudley, with 2nd Lt. Raymond L. Abel, second in com- 
mand, was on the right of the Company front with the First Platoon. 
2nd Lt. Buell McCasli, with the Second Platoon occupied the left. The 
combined Third and Fourth Platoons under 1st Lt. Charles P. Lynch 
and 2nd Lt. Walter F. Carver were in the support. These were the 
Comp.uiy dispositions on the night of October 12. 1918. 

On the last mentioned date a Cerman "Circus" consisting of artil- 
lery, aerial observers and specially trained infantrymen, after elabor- 
ate preparations, staged a raid on the town of Balscliwiller. Our po- 
sition was deluged with high explosives and gas shells covering the

COMPANY "H". ooOth Infautry, had. at its first organization, 
Thomas W. McQuarrie as Captain, with 1st Lt. Clarence C. 
Crocker, 2ncl Lts. James U. Sammis, Jr., Edgar Campbell and H. 
N. Kinney. Of the enlisted men who joined the Company in the first 
increment only fifteen non-commissioned officers remained throughout, 
l)ut as a result of Captain McQuarrie's keen ability as a judge of men 
it is in considerable measure due to their ability and efforts that the 
Company always maintained its high standard of discipline, efficiency 
and training. 

Of the training at Camp Dodge not much is to be said. It was a 
period of training for the officers as well as the men. although it was 
indeed disheartening to drill successive increments of enlisted men only 
to have them transferred to other camps for embarkation. But it served 
as invaluable experience for the officers and non-commissioned officers, 
making them all the more competent to train the men Avho finally 
crossed the water as Company "H". 

The first group of men received at Camp Dodge, in September, were 
transferred in November and early December. The next increment 
received, in the latter part of February, were with us until the latter 
part of April. It was from this group that many of the non-commis- 
sioned officers were chosen. This group was sent to other camps the 
latter part of April. Shortly after their departure another increment 
■was trained for a few weeks in May. Then in early June we received 
the most of the men who stayed with the Company, drawn largely 
from Missouri. Their very first efforts were rewarded by the designation 
of Company "H" as the escort to the colors in the final review held at 
Camp Dodge before entraining for the port of embarkation, and this 
may be taken as the criterion of standard upheld throughout the 
career of the Company. 

The names on the roster of commissioned officers changed 
even more than on the roster of enlisted men. On December 28, 1017, 
1st Lt. John R. Knittel was assigned to the Company ; on August 20, 

1917, 1st Lt. Forest Moss was assigned to the Company, on May 15. 

1918, 1st Lt. G. N. Nelson was assigned to the Company. Lt. Sammis 
in July leceived a long deserved promotion to the rank of First 
Lieutenant, but his gain was the Company's loss for he was transferred 
to the Battalion Staff' as Intelligence Officer. Lts. Forest Moss and G. 
X. Nelson were later detached. 

Late in July we made preparations for over-seas duty. There was 
issue of clothing and issue of equipment : there were checks and 
re-checks of property. Finally the entraining orders came, August 5. 
1918. On August 4tli Captain McQuarrie and Lt. Crocker were relieved 
of assignment and designated to remain in the states for a time, and to 
be promoted. On the same date 1st Lt. Frank L. Sieh of Company '"L". 
•350th Infantry, was placed in command of the company and Sgts. Stan- 



148 THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 

ley J. O'CouiKir and .laiiu's E. Holland, awaiting commissions .is 2nd 
Litnitcnants lioni tho Fonitii Officers Training Camp, were assigned to 
the company. Lt. Charles II. Dawson was also attached tlie same day. 

On the morning of August oth we entrained for the port. We left 
Camp Dodge at eleven o'clock that morning for Camp Upton via 
Chicago, Detroit and Niagara Fjills. We arrived at Camp Upton, via 
Ferry from Weehawken, N. J. and took train from Long Island City 
on the evening of August Sth. 

Camp Upton proved to be another session of clothing iiiid equip- 
ment check and issue, with a great deal of paper work, especially that 
connected wath service records and passenger lists. On August 13tb 
Lt. Edgar Campbell received his promotion to First Lieutenant. 

The work was partly relieved by passes to New York and nearby 
beaches for swimming. On midnight of the 14th we started, together 
with fifty men attached to the Company, for the pier, the train taking: 
us to the ferry, and then we enjoyed an early marching trip up the 
harbor to the pier. 

We boarded the British boat Messanabie — a fine vessel of thirteen 
thousand tons — the only unit of the 350th Infantry that was on board. 
The crossing was very smooth and our Company was fortunate in having: 
a bunk for every man. 

On the morning of August 28th we docked at Liverpool and 
marched to a rest camp. Knotty Ash. just outside the city. We were 
there for a day and boarded an English train at noon on the 29th, 
arriving in Southampton at 2 :00 A.M. August 30th. There we joined 
Company "F", and on the night of August 30th we crossed the channel ; 
of the crossing the less said the better. Arriving at Cherbourg, France,, 
we marched to another rest camp just outside of town, a typical rest 
camp. At Cherbourg we delivered to "F" Company the men who were 
attached to us at Camp Upton, and both Companies entrained at 
Cherbourg on August 31st, arriving at Semur on the morning of 
September 3rd, Company "H" was billeted at Bourbille, and w^as the 
only company there. It was our first experience in billets. Our train- 
ing period there was hard work but the weather was pleasant. Lt. 
Dawson was at that time detailed as Regimental Gas Officer. From 
Bourbille we marched to Courcelles where we joined the rest of the 
Battalion for the first time since August and then marched the next 
morning to Les Laumes where we entrained. Arriving at Hericourt 
the next morning, we marched about two kilometers to Brevilliers. On 
September 27th Sergeants Holland and O'Connor received their com- 
missions. After fourteen days of hard drilling and maneuvers the 
Battalion mai'ched to Danjoutin near Belfort, and stayed there one day 
and then made a memoralde night march of twenty-three kilometers to 
Traubach-la-Bas. 

Traubach-la-Bas was our first real experience within sound of the 



THREE-HUNDREDFIFTIETH INFANTRY 149 

front line guns. We were then about two kilometers in the rear of 
the line and expected to go up on the 11th. A detachment which had 
gone lip previously reported the sector very quiet but we wanted to be 
shown. 

It was on October 5th that the company was so fortunate as to have 
assigned to it 2nd Lt. W. H. Nourse. Lt. Nourse had been recommended 
for a D.S.C. and had also received citations while with the 26th 
Division. The D.S.C. was received for extraordinary heroism in action 
near Boures'cher, France, July 20, 1918. Being on special duty Sgt. 
Nourse followed his company in the attack. Upon discovering a strong 
Taachine gun nest pouring a destructive fire into the second wave of his 
Company, Sgt. Nourse, sending two men to the flanks, rushed and 
■cleared out the nest with hand grenades and bayonet. 

On the evening of October 11th we relieved Company '"F" in the 
front line working with French troops. That night and the next day 
were quiet, which gave us time to orient ourselves and to learn all 
about the mud, the wet dugouts and the rats, and to compose great 
stories about each. On the night of October 12th, however, the Boche 
laid down a bombardment which was a combination of a box and creep- 
ing barrage and was followed by a raid on our Battalion Sector by a 
mobile Boche raiding unit, but the sector held by Company "H" was 
not entered at any time. We were subject to heavy shell fire for an 
hour : not only were the trenches and no-man's land shelled but also 
the town of Balschwiller and all roads and lines of communication to 
the Company and Battalion P.C.'s. 

During the bombardment twenty-two men were out in no-man's- 
land to occupy the German front lines which a patrol had found the 
Boche were not occup.vlng. The night of October 12th our patrol had 
about reached the German front lines and encountered machine gun fire 
and grenades. During the bombardment which came down on our lines 
the gas alarm was' given and this made it very difficult for the patrol 
to return because of the necessity of wearing gas masks. Sergeant 
Henry O. Olson had charge of this patrol. 

The night of October 13th we again sent out a patrol of twenty-two 
men to occupy the German front lines ; this time we found it to be 
luioccupied and entered the trench and held it until ordered to withdraw. 
This was a busy night for everyone as there were working parties 
•consolidating new positions protected by our patrols in the Boche's 
front lines. The evening of October 14th a detail headed by Lt. Nourse 
and eight men carried food to our patrols in our new front line position, 
then held by Sgt. W. H. Saltzman and Corp. C. O. Sullivan's patrols, 
these men having been without food for twenty-four hours. The evening 
of October 14th the men were withdrawn from the Boche front lines. 
During the time we occupied the Boche front lines the Boche occupied 
Ills own second line some thirty yards away. Shortly before orders were 
received to withdraw one of our French comrades was sihot through

aviators were particularly active, in fact they controlled the air at all 
times, which necessitated our keepiiii: out of sijrht during the day. The 
night of the ISth and l!>th Sgt. Olson led out a covering party of 
twenty-four men who protected a working party of another Company. 
The night of the IDth and 20th I.t. Edgar Campbell had a working^ 
party out of thirty men which was protected by a covering party of 
twenty men led by Lt. Holland. The night of the 20th and 21st Lt. 
NourMe had charge of iin iinihush patrol of twelve men. The night of 
the 21st and 22n(l Lt. O'Connor had charge of an ambush patrol of 
fourteen men. It was on October 17th while we w^ere still in the front 
line that Lt. Fi-aid< L. S'ieli received his conmiission as Captain. 

When we were relieved on the line we went in support at Bueth- 
willer for five days. "We then went into the reserve at Traubach-le- 
Haut. From Traubach-le-Haut. the Battalion marched to Chevremont 
on the evening of October 20th, and the next evening we marched to 
Rougegoutte. 

At Rougegoutte we put in another period of intensive training^ 
preparatory to service on the Toul front. We left Rougegoutte on the 
night of November 7th and marched to Belfort about eleven kilometers 
and entrained for the Toul front. After an all-night's ride we arrived 
at Andilly about twelve kilometers north of Toul on November 8th. We 
had been there only a few hours when orders were given to get ready f or 
a long hike and for action. Extra blankets and equipment were to be 
left behind and we were to travel light, join the rest of the Regiment 
at Tliiaucourt and from there on our disposition was not given. The 
company was waiting with packs rolled when the order came saying 
that the move was postponed and soon after word came that we were 
not to move. It was while we were drilling on the morning of 
November 11th that the roll of drum fire suddenly ceased, and when 
we heard the church bells ringing in every nearby vilhige we knew 
that the Armistice was an accomplished fact. 

The rest of our stay in Andilly was mostly drill on a shorter 
schedule and salvaging and policing. On November 20th Ave hiked to 
Commercy and the next day to Morlaincourt which proved to be our 
final habitat until the move toward home. .lohn R. Knittle. 1st Lt.

THE ultimate personnel of Company "I." as respects both officers 
and men, was much different at the time it was mustered out 
from that of the original organization. 

In the early days of September, 1917. Company "I" received its first 
recruits. The men were largely from Iowa. Gradually the company 
expanded in size as the first National Army Selective units began to 
arrive. Noncommissioned officers were chosen from the older men and 
from the very few regular army men assigned to the organization. 

For nine months thereafter the company, like all other organizations 
in the Division, passed through a very hard period — a period of receiving 
new men. equipping them, giving fundamental instructions in the 
military, and finally losing them to other camps by transfer. 

At one time the officers and noncommissioned officers were all 
that remained in the company — a fighting organization without men. 
To the constant work and unfaltering spirit of our noncoms during 
this period is largely due the credit of keeping alive that spark which 
later made a trained, aggressive company. 

In May lOlS recruits again poured into the Division in large 
numbers, and this time the company received the main portion of its 
final quota, — men from Missouri. 

What a crowd of men they were I Tall ones, short ones, middle 
.sized ones, but no fat ones. They were raw boned and hard, full of 
life, ready to raise the Devil at the drop of the hat, but attentive and 
eager to learn. Their principal charactistic was then, and remained 
throughout, an extreme good nature. 

During the summer of 1018 we worked hard, harder than we ever 
worked before in our lives. The incentive was there, the issue was 
clear, we were all in it heart and soul. ;ind naturally we got results. 
From a mixed crowd of civilians we made of ourselves a trained mili- 
tary organization. 

From the Dakotas, Minnesota, Nebraska, Illinois. Kansas and 
finally from New York, our full quota was mads up. 

Jesse Beers was our first Captain. Capt. Daniel Sullivan followed. 
€apt George Farrell took the latter's place, and Capt. Casper Scheuk 
relieved him. 1st. Lt. Conrad Veit and 2m\. Lt. Carl W. Halleen, two of 
our main stays at Camp Dodge, received promotions and were left 
behind in the United States with a newly organized Division. Lt.

COMPANY K 



^istoru of Campanu W 

K COMPANY grew from a paper organization into an actuality on 
the second and tliird days of September. 1917, wlien it X'e- 
ceived its original assignment of officers from the First Of- 
ficers Training Camp at Ft. Snelling. Minn. Captain George W. Walker, 
1st Lt. AVilliam T. Faricy. and 2nd Lts. Roy A. Nord and Frank O. 
West were assigned and 2nd Lts. John D. Reeves and A. C. Brackett 
were attached. On the seventeenth came twenty-eight pioneers of the 
first draft, who did hard labor, a little close order work, and moved 
northward with the construction and growth of hot and dusty Camp 
Dodge. Then the remainder of the first draft arrived one night from 
Dubuque, Iowa and near neighborhood, and with the imprint of the 
bunk springs still upon their backs, picked up all their belongings and 
in true un-military fashion moved into permanent quarters at Building 
No. 1104. Close order drill began in earnest with frequent inspec- 
tions by Generals Plummer and Getty, and notes by Colonel Castle. 
Forty men were lost to Cajnp Cody and the remainder became a drilling 
outfit obtaining frequent honorable mention by higher commanders. 

Finally some military clothes and old Krags were received, but also 
came an order transferring all but nineteen of the outfit to Camp Pike, 
Arkansas, on November 17, 1917. The few remaining were non-coms, 
who did K. P.. guard duty luider men of lower grades sometimes, and 
while resting, did l>unk fatigue by keeping the fires burning. However, 
2nd Lt. Charles R. George, who had joined the organization in early 

November, kept the old "K" spirit alive by issuing the " Bulletin," 

edited by "Hard Rock." On January 1, "K" had thirteen officers, Lts. 
George and Reeves having been assigned and Lts. Nord and West 
having been made 1st Looies. Lt. Brackett was transferred to Co. E. 

With February came the second draft from Iowa and northern 
Minnesota, and also, intensive close order drill and intensified paper 
work, which latter was of the essence. Order after order came down 
transferring men everywhere. Before all had been transferred the 
third draft arrived in April from North Dakota, and, after a two weeks' 
quarantine, with its innoculations and close order work, the transferring 
process went un-merrily on until the companies were left with but a few 
non-coms, many of the new men going directly over-seas. This draft 
contingent suffered a large number of casualties. 

May raised the hopes of men and officers by bringing the tall and 
rangy Missourians, but with them, more paper work, and a highly in- 
tensified program of close order drill. June brought about thirty more 
recruits from Iowa, and in July the Depot Brigade and Camp Funston. 
Kansas, added their quota, which, under the culling process, left the 
company at nearly full strength. Work on the rifle range made the 
organization a very strong and efficient rifle unit. Bayonet, grenade 
and open order drill continued at the same time, and a truly military 
organization, noted in the regiment for its efficient standards, was de- 
veloped. First Sergeant Albert G. Kenniker, in May, had succeeded the

old ■■rcjtiilar" 1st Hgt. Adams, as the old cliaiiipioii "Ilat-eiii-out" was 
tiyiii.ir llu' oi-deals of an Officer's Training Camp. 

It was a hot and dusty 4th day of August. ItHS. that "K" bid 
j;(i(id-l)ye to No. 1104 and entrained for New York. With tlie men and 
officers in liifili spirits the journey was a pleasant initiation into the 
itverseas voyage. Ten days were spent amidst the sand of Camp Upton, 
Long Island, where tlie company was filled to full strength of two 
hundred and fifty men and an officer personnel of Capt. Walker. 1st Lts. 
Xord and Reeves, -ud I-t. George, and 1st Lt. West. who. had gone over 
with the advance party. Officer Candidate Cecil P. SimiiKHis received 
his commission after arrival in France. 

Equipped for overseas, "K," with the remainder of the Third Bat- 
talion and the 3oSth Miichine Gun Battalion, emharked at Hohoken on 
the ITith day of August. The good ship, H. M. S. "Kashmir" was its 
home for twelve days. A few cases of .sea-sickness, submarine guard, 
the precious life-belt, the doleful fog-horns, the seventeen other vessels 
of the convoy, the last sight of the Statue of Liberty, the first sight of 
European soil, the daily abandon ship drill, the racing schools of por- 
poises, a few sharks and whales, the shooting up of a mine, and the 
universal spirit of good fellowship were incidents of memory which 
made the twelve days pass quickly. The convoy, having been escorted 
out of New York harbor by United States hydroplanes, a battleship, a 
desti'oyer, and a dirigil)le, was met by a destroyer mosquito fleet of 
thirty English vessels, each of which added its protection as the convoy 
threaded and wended its way through the Irish Sea. Also the men saw 
one of the famous Mystery Boats of the English navy, which, in truth. 
Avas a dangerous fishing smack. 

The '"Kashmir" docked at Liverpool the morning of the twenty- 
seventh and "K" entrained in detachments for Winnaldowns Camp, 
near Winchester, England, where, after three days of bathing, and 
sight-seeing about Winchester, the Company entrained in detachments 
for Southampton. Points of interest visited in AVinchester were the 
Round Table of King Arthur, statue of King Alfred, the historic Win- 
chester Cathedral- the Roman wall, roads and hills, and estates in the 
neighborhood. Long-remembered will be the voyage across the channel 
on the little English boat "Vipers," where eighty per cent of the men 
■were seasick, and where the guard and Officers of the Day (Night) were 
all incapacitated. Even Major Storch fought for his place at the rail. 

September first found "K" passing thru the famous "belly-rest" 
English camp at Cherboiu'g. France; but next da.v found a thankful 
■outfit travelling French Pullman (40 Chevaux, 8 Homnu^s I style across 
France, thru Versailles, and Dijon, to Semur. in Cote D' Or. where 
<letraining, a hike was made to the village of Flee and quarters es- 
tablished on the second floor of a large old and abandoned stone 
chateau. The greeting rendered by the French was memorable and 
touching. Never before had they seen the Americans. "K". leading the 
column, was met by small children, bearing beautiful bouquets of 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 159 

liowers, and the troops were literally showered with flowers as they 
passed. Genuine Fi-ench hospitality showed at its best the homes of 
these peasants, who became attached to the likeable care-free American 
soldiers. Introduction was had to dried vegetables, including carrots: 
also to "vin rouge and vin blanc" and other French substitutes for 
drinking water. Close and open order drill and hikes featui-ed the 
ten days before the battalion hiked twenty-four kilometers to Les 
liaumes to pitch pup tents for the night. Entraining here, "K" rode 
French Pullmans thru Dijon. Besaiicon. and the beautiful French 
Alps, to Hericourt. where a German air raid took place while the 
men slept in a re-modeled Y. M. C. A. building. A three kilometer hike 
to the French Alsatiani town of Echenans brought the troops closer to 
the front in the neighborhood of Belfort and its forts. "K" luckily es- 
caped the "Flu" which hit the other companies. Open order drills and 
night patrol work, together with instruction in the special infantry arms 
■occupied the time. Spice was added by the battle of airplanes and the 
anti-aircraft gun fire, the Germans having air supremacy. The rainy 
season l)egan and beautiful France no more was beautiful to the barn 
billeted men. There was also a different feeling existent amongst 
the French, (ias masks were issued at this village. First Sgt. Ken- 
iiiker was sent to a Training Camp and Sgt. Edward Eeinitz succeeded. 
Sgt. Martin and Sgt. Gronau acting in his absence. 

The evening of October .jth saw the first night hike of twenty 
kilometers into Danjoutin. and the next night a hard hike of only 
*"two miles more" developed into a thirty-odd kilometer march to St. 
Cosme, in German Alsace. The Sd battalion was in reserve here, the 
regiment having been assigned the Center Sector, Haute-Alsace. Before 
the battalion had been there six hours, two German planes came over 
dropping messages welcoming the SSth Division. Wire entanglements, 
camoufiaged roads, trenches and bombardments added realism and pur- 
pose to the excellent tactical instruction of the princely French Ott'icers 
and Non-coms assigned to the battalion. "K" was finally hit by the 
"'Flu" but suffered lightly by comparison. 

On the night of the 14th of October. Lt. Simmons with the 4th 
platoon relieved part of Co. E in the front line. On Sunday, the 20th, 
Lt. Nord, with Lt. Murrell, who had joined the Company at St. Cosme, 
went up with the 1st platoon. Two days later Captain Walker brought 
up the remainder of "K". relieving Co. E by taking over the right regi- 
mental sector, with the Co. P. C. in the deserted town of Balschwiller. 
Except for some patrol work, a night of harrassing Boche machine gun 
fire, and some bombardment, the time passed quickly, without accident, 
and a good experience. The men handled themselves like veterans, re- 
•ceiving the commendation of Colonel Stone for their behavior and 
morale. Co. I relieved "K" on the night of the 26th, "K" moving back 
in support at Buethwiller. when, after a day's rest, a hike was made 
to Phaffans. and from there to Giromagny, a lively town of ten thou- 
sand located in the Vosges mountains. Grenade instructions, company

resulting in a hike to licltdrt on the 7th and another ride in French 
ruUnians tliru Dijon, Toul, and Nancy, to Menil-a-Tonr. wliere fortu- 
nate "K" was taken in trucks to the smallest town in France, Telluric- 
le-Saiizey. Three Inindrc'd llinusnml AiiK-ricaii troojis were rumored tO 
he in the vicinity, ready for the VAi: Drive to he^in the 14th. Orders 
were received on the nmniiiit; of the eleventh to roll packs for action. A 
heavy and continuous liondiardnieiil was taking place. At eleven 
o'clock A. M.. this ceased abruptly and "K" learned that the armis- 
tice had heen sifined. 

On Thaidvsgivinfi eve a bis dinner and celebration was held with 
Co. E at Sanzey. Orders to move also arrived and the next day "K" 
joined the regiment in its hike to ('(mimercy. and then to the Gomlre- 
court area, where "K" was l)illeted at I.ongeaux. Meuse, France, which 
was home until the morning of May 7. lUV.l "K". with the rest of the 
battalion received the commendation of the Corps Commander upon its 
splendid mardi discipline and arrangement of packs. Not satisfied with 
this, "K" proceeded to clean up Longeaux, until the customary manure 
pile became a forgotten thing of the past, and Longeaux held the repu- 
tation as the cleanest town of the area. Also "K" ran off witli the regi- 
mental prize for the best kitchen, and prior to tliat had been called 
b.v the commanders of tliese units, "the model for the Division," "for 
the Brigade," an(l. "for the Regiment." Also Brigadier General Welch, 
A. E. F. Inspector, and the Corps Commander stated the kitchen was 
the best they had seen in the A. E. F. line forces. "K" again drew 
down more honors at the time of the general inspection by General 
Pershing, when lie directed its commander, Lt. Nord, to carry his com- 
pliments and congratulations direct to the Company for its "splendid 
pliysical record" and "fine appearance." In its entire history "K" lost 
but one man by deatli thru sickness. 

During December and .lanuary "K" participated in tlie division 
and regimental problems, and took some machine gun nests. Many of 
the men attended the various schools at Lanueveville and St. Joire. In 
February and March, drill, problems, and some tiring was had. April 
brought with it nicer climatic conditions and close order drill and fir- 
ing problems. Baseball, volley l»all. fishing lizards out of the moat, 
and visiting liign.v occupied the attention of the men. together witL 
various inspections, including that by the C-in-C, General Pershing. 
Clothing and (piarterniaster proin-rty were hard to obtain. But "K" 
had discovered about two thousand duck-boards, which the First Divi- 
sion had left, and these f\irnislied fuel. An old chateau, surrounded 
by a moat, nice grounds and the iisual wall had been obtained and 
fixed into excellent quarters for the men. Fireplaces, bunks, rifle racks, 
cleaning racks, shoe shining and dubbin parlors. Red Rooney as tailor 
with comfortalde quarters, and other luxuries of civilization were pro- 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 161 

vided, until Colonel Lynch said "K"' was the most comfortably situated 
company in the area. The men were as satisfied as homesick men 
could be. 

Three days after the armistice "K" lost Lt. Nord to the Division 
Schools on D. S. as Senior Instructor of the Automatic Arms School. 
In the latter part of December Captain AValker went to the hospital 
and eventually was invalided home with gastritis in February. Shortly 
afterwards in the same month. Lt. Keeves was also invalided home suf- 
fering with a partial facial paralysis, and Lt. George went to the 
Third Battalion Intelligence Section. Lt. Lyncli, of Co. G was attached 
and in command during part of March until the return of Lt. Nord, 
who brought the company home with 2nd Lts. Simmons, Rackley and 
Hancock. Lt. Rackley had replaced Lt. Murrel, who went home with 
his old division in February, and Lt. Hancock came from the last 
olficer's training camp. 

On May 7, 1919 '"K" bid goodbye to Longeaux and began its move- 
ment toward the good old U. S. A. 

Such is the history of the career of '"K" Company, an outfit of 
high morale and good fighting spirit, who "went for what it got, and 
got what it went for."

COMPANY L was relieved from the status of being in existence on 
paper only on the 2cl of September, 1917. On this clay Captain Fred 
W. Graves was assigned to it as Commanding Officer. On September 
od 1st Lt. Frank L. Sieh and 2d Lt. Floyd E. Thomas were assigned to 
duty with the company. All three Officers were members of the 4th 
Company. Fir.'t Officers' Training Camp at Fort Snelling, Minn., having 
received their commissions August 15, 1917. Officers who were later 
assigned to Company L w^ere, in the order of their assignment : 2d l-t. 
Edwin O. Hugg; 1st Lt. Fred Wells; 2d Lt. Ben Huntington; 1st Lt. 
Claire E. Wilson and 2d Lieutenants Albert V. Jensen and AVilbur J. 
Bridges. 

Company L. as did the other organizations at Camp Dodge, received, 
trained (or partially trained) and transferred to other Divisions that 
went across before we did several hundred men before we received 
our orders to move. This was very discouraging and many of us were 
becoming pretty well convinced that we would never get the chance to 
go over. We however got our move orders, and many others besides, 
in .Tilly, and immediately began to pack and get ready for the start. 
The fact is that we packed several rimes owing to changes of ordersi. 

On August 5, 1918, we entrained and started east. We were treated 
royally by the Red Cross at every place we stopped, and I wish to 
say here that too much credit cannot be given to this organization. 

We arrived at Camp Upton August 9th, and the following day 
3G new men were assigned to Company Ij, bringing it up to full war 
strength of 250 men. 

On August 15th we left Camp Upton and boarded the British 
transport H. M. S. Kashmir of the P. & O. line ; shoved oft" from the 
dock and anchored in the harbor. 

We sailed at 1:30 P.M. August IGth. Eighteen ships were in the 
convoy, and we were escorted by destroyers, cruisers, sub-chasers and 
airplanes. The crossing was made without event, and the sea being 
smooth there wa." very little sea-sickness. 

The coast of Scotland was sighted on August 27th, and on the 2Sth 
we arrived in Liverpool. England. At 4 :30 P.M. we left the ship and 
entrained for Winchester. Arrived there early in the morning of August 
29th. and marched to Winnaldown Camp about two miles out. 

On August 31st we entrained for Southampton, where we embarked 
on the S. S. Viper and crossed the Channel that night. After a rough 
passage on w^hich nearly every one became sea-sick we lauded in 
Cherl»ourg. France, on the morning of September 1st, and hiked from 
there four miles to Rest Camp No. 1. 



164 THREEHUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 

Wo li'ft this English cainit ScitlciiilKM- iM, and tlio vote was iinaiii- 
iiidiis that whoovor iiainod these places "Rest Camps" must have had 

the stdiuach in mind, as Iliat \vas llie mily tliinf; tliat fiet a rest. 

Went al)<)ard train at Clierhourj; and arrived at Semur Septeml)er 
41 li. Hiked from there to tlie village of Flee, where we billeted. The 
KriMK-h met us there with flowers and pails of wine. As the wine 
at tliat hour was Jigain><^ regulations Major ytoreh tried to head it off 
and was nearly tranijiled under foot I>y the indignant Fi'ench women. 
The nuiyor of tlie town took the officers of the Battalion up to his office 
and opened .several ))ottles of biihlile water. We wei-e received Ity these 
people as members of their families, and there were few dry eyes when 
we left there September 17th. On that day we hiked fifteen miles to 
Les Laumes, where we entrained for Hericourt. On September ISth 
we detrained at Hericourt and tlie following day we hiked to Echenans, 
where we l)illeted and trained nntii we received our orders to go into 
the line. 

On October 5tli we received tlie order that the 350th Infantry 
would relieve a Regiment in the line. That evening we started and 
hiked twehe miles to Adeliiaiis. where we billeted until the following 
evening when we continued on, hiking sixteen kilometers; to St. Cosme in 
the Haute Alsace sector. The 3d Battalion was the Regimental reserve. 
Our association there with the GOth Alpine Chasseurs was both pleasant 
and instructive. 

October 15th Lt. Htuitington with the 4th platoon moved up to 
reinforce a company in the trendies. This platoon saw more service 
in the front line than any otliers of this company, remaining in the 
trenches 12 days-'. On October 20th half of the 1st and half of the 2a 
platoons under Lieutenants Thomas and Jensen moved up to the 
trenches and on Oct. 23d the rest of the company moved up under 
Captain Graves at wliicb time the company took over 1200 metres of 
front line trench. 

Jerry was .so quiet most of the time that all the men were dis- 
appointed. Only a verj' few who were in the IM'.s or advanced day 
posts ever saw or even heard a Heiuie. The 4th platoon was shelled 
rather heavily a couple of times but no one was hurt. Sometimes Jerry 
got careless too, and allowed his snipers to fire in our direction ; but he 
was always keeping too low to be effective. This was evidence of 
wisdom on his part too, for had our Missouri squirrel shooters caught 
sight of liim there is no doubt but tliat lie would have been punctured. 
One night tilings were ^o (|uiet that I'rivate SiKn-ry Raster, for variety, 
was seen nonchalantly cracking nuts witli a hand grenade. Private 
Henry Hauswirth's hunting instinct proved too strong for resistence 
when he spied a plane bearing a black cross on its wings and flying 
pretty low. Leading the bird by a proper distance, as all good hunters 
do, he cut loose with a Imrst from hi> good old Browning automatic 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 165 

rifle. The game did not fall, but lie did turn around and come straight 
back at Henry, with his machine gun spitting fire and bullets. Some 
of Jerry's bullets came luicomfortably close and while there was no 
way of telling where Henry's went lie claims the decision, because Jerry 
flew awa.v. 

Company L was relieved by Company M. 350tli Infantry, on October 
-Ctth. and moved back in support of that comp-iny. On October 29th 
th:' Battalion was relieved, and hiked two nights to get to Giromagny, 
where we billeted and rested. 

We hiked to Belfort and entrained there the morning of September 
Stli for the Toul Sector, ^ye went into Barracks in the Bois de Lagney 
September !»th. There we were detached from the 8Sth division and at- 
tached to the 4tli Corps as a part of the Corps reserve, and received 
prep:iratory orders to move into the fight we could hear in front of 
u.'^. Officers and men stood by with light packs and reserve rations, 
awaiting orders to move forward. That order never came, for the 
Armistice was signed the lltli. 

We marched to Commercy September 2!)tli. after salvaging and poli- 
cing beaucoup square miles of territory. The following day we hiked 
to (Jivrauval. where we lingered for five long months. 

The greater part of the enlisted personnel of Company L were 
natives of Iowa and Missouri : and while all were not from Missouri 
they are still waiting to be shown that there was a better company in 
the A. E. F. The non-commissioned officer>< were well worthy of being 
called the back-bone of the company. Better privates never cnssed the 
iness sergeant, and top-cutter Stephen Mitchell handled all situations 
admirabl.v. The high morale of the men was largely due to mess 
sergeant Calvin Smith. All members of the company are proud of the 
fact that eleven enlisted men were commissioned, that not a man fell 
out on a hike, and that they were members of Company L. o.'joth 
Infantry. Fred W. Graves

Histaru of (llompcinu JM 



COMPANY "M" was organized during tlie lirst weelv of September, 
11)17. Captain Burns was in command and witli liim were Lts. 
Wilson. Sclilosser, McDermott, Boyce and Dawson. 
On tlie 5tli of September the first recruits came to Camp Dodge and 
•on tlie 9tli four sergeants from tbe regular army joined the company. 
The bulk of the recruits came on the 10th and then "M" began to look 
like a real company. 

During the early days at Dodge most of the time was" taken up with 
policing, arranging quarters, outfitting the men and some preliminary 
instruction. Xow-a-days, the old timers of company "M" spend many a 
night "batting 'em out" about the old days at Camp Dodge — the rare 
stuff the recruits pulled off — drilling in civilian clothes — typhoid innocii- 
laticns. etc. 

In November, most of the men, excepting non-coms, were transferred 
to Camp Pike, Arkansas. Those who were left did guard and fatigue 
until February, when the second bunch of recruits came in. During 
the holidays practically every man was able to get home for a few days. 

During January, 191S, the entire company fired Special Course "C" 
on the rifle range. It was a cold proposition, but some mighty good 
shooting was done. February was taken up with numerous schools and 
.such outside drill as the weather would permit. Company "M" was 
going good — had a fine mess — half holidays — entertainments and the 
morale was high. 

But in March came the unexpected blow. Most of the men were 
transferred to various southern camps. Company "M" again became a 
skeleton company, only about thirty of the old men remaining. But 
during April, May and June the company was filled up by men trans- 
ferred from other camps. With but few exceptions those men remained 
with the company. During the spring and siummer the drill was 
strenuous and long, but Company "M" came out of it a real company. 

On August 5th the train was ready to take lis on our first lap of the 
over.seas journey. At 2 :10 P.M. the conductor shouted, "All Aboard", 
and we pulled out for Hoboken. Enroute we passed through Ames, 
Clinton, Chicago, Ft. Wayne, Cleveland, Buffalo, Binghampton. Elmira 
and Scranton. At several stops we received candy, cigarettes, sand- 
wiches, etc. from the Red Cross. At midnight, Augusit 7th, we pulled 
into Hoboken. but did not detrain until morning. Ferry boats took us 
to Long Island City, where we boarded a train for Camp Upton, arriving 
at 3:00 P.M., August Sth. 

For a week we remained at Camp Upton. There we received our 
last bunch of recruits ; 37 in all. During the week we wei'e completely 
outfitted, drilled some and spent some time in New York City.

At eight o'clock. Tlmrsdjiy iiiorniiiii'. Aiii-'iist l.ltli. we iM'fiiiii hoiirdiiij? 
our trjinsport. tlio S.S. Kasliuilr. Laid at aiiclior in tlic outer harbor 
that nijtht aud at 1 .'W the ucxt aftcnioon we puHcd out. Sixtoon ships 
were in the convoy. Acrophmos. (h'str()yci> and two battleships started 
out with us. Lit\' preservers became an intlisiteiisalile part of each 
man's etpiipment and abnndiin shi]) drills weri' fi'e(|uently held. 

The trip was uneventful. The blowing of the ship's siren in the 
fogs and the firing of one of tlie guns at a porpoise was the only 
excitenuMit. English fix <1 and quarters didn't compare favorably with 
("amp Dodge day.>. but no one grundded. 

Two days out of Liverpool, we were nu't by P.ritish destroyers: 
mighty welcome additions to our fleet. At 8:00 P.M.. August 2Sth. we 
debarked at Liverpool and hiked three miles to Camp Winnaldown. 
just outside of Winchester. It was a tough hike after being cramped up 
aboard ship for twelve days. The entire company visited Winchester 
Cathedral and other points of interest. Stayed near Winchester for two 
days and then proceeded to Southampton. We spent one night moving 
baggage. 

At <J :00 P.M.. August ols;t, we started across the Channel on the 
"Maid of Orleans". It was .some little trip — most of the men of the 
company have vivid recollections (f it. September 1st saw us in 
France, at Cherbourg. The camp there was called a rest camp, which 
it was not. 

The next day we were introduced to "S Chevaux — 10 Hommes", also 
"Dames" and '"Hommes". In box cars we started south, arriving at 
Seniur two days later. Then came a nine mile hike to Montigny-.-iu-- 
American, where we learned to know the meaning of French billets and 
dried vegetables. For two weeks we drilled around Montigny getting 
in shape again. 

The next move was to Les Laumes. a ten mile hike and a night in 
pup tents. Tliere we took French "Pullmans" to Hericourt and slept 
there one night in a "movie" theatre. The next morning we hiked 
two miles to Echenans an<l remained there until October 5th. At 
Echenans we had some drill, problems, range work and "Flu." 

We moved out of Echeinins on the night of October otli and liiked 
twelve miles to Danjoutin. The next night we made St. Cosme, seven- 
teen mile?' farther, and were in Alsac(>. The 350th was assigned to the 
Center Sector. Haute Alsace, and oui- P.attalion was in reserve at St. 
Cosme. There we saw wire entanglements, trendies, Boche aeroplanes 
and heard real bombardments. On Octolier 23rd we moved up to 
Buethwiller to relieve the 2nd Battalion in the line. Companies ''K" 
and "L" went in the line first witli "I" and "M" support. Tiu-ee days 
later Company "M" relieved "L" and we got some real trench life, which 
included mud, dugouts, rats, tri'uch meals, gas alarms and no sleep. 
The entire company acted like old vet>. While we were .shelled by 



THREE-HUNDRED-FIFTIETH INFANTRY 169 

artillery and shot at by aeroplanes, machine guns, etc: most of the men 
craved more excitement. No one was killed or wounded, and wlien we 
Avere relieved on the night of October 20tli by Company "G", 349tli 
Infantry, tlie entire company marched otit of the line in better shape 
and twice as cocky as when we went in. Company "M"' made good 
the first time in the trenches and were proud of it. 

That night we hiked twenty-two kilometers to Pfaffans, rested a 
day. then made another twenty kilometer hike to Giromagny. Giro- 
magny was a good town but we left for Belfort on the night of Novem- 
ber 7th. A short train ride and another inevitable hike landed us in 
the Bois de Lagney. 

On November Sth and Dth. everyrhing in tlie line of equipment was 
turned in except arms and such clothing as was actually needed. We 
Avere stripped for action and standing by at all times waiting for 
orders to move northward and get into the big push planned for 
that sector. On the night of November 10th we were under orders to 
move out. but the orders were changed at the last minute and we 
remained in rhe woods. On Noveml)er 11th we heard of the Armistice. 
It was hard to believe that the war was over, but we believed it 
enough to get the band out and have a celebration. 

November oOth saw us leaving Bois de Lagney for the Gondrecourt 
training area. One night was spent in Commercy and at the end of 
the .second day's hike we landed in Givrauval. On this march, Company 
M was especially mentioned by the Commander of the 2nd Army, as 
having the best arrangement of packs and equipment and the best 
march discipline. 

We were comfortable in Givrauval. The billets were good, the 
mess fine, and the drill .schedule fair enough. It was a poor day that 
didn't bring a new rumor about getting home. 

Captain Burns commanded Company M from its organization until 
the last week of September. 191S. Lts. Boyce and Dawson were trans- 
ferred, leaving Lts. Wilson, Schlosser and McDermott, the only re- 
maining officers who came clear through with Company M. Captain 
Burns l;ecame Major Burns and commanded the 3rd Battalion. Lt. 
Boyce went to the o.jlst Infantry and Lt, Dawson to Headquarters 
Company, 350th Infantry. Major Burns was succeeded in command 
of Company M by Captain West. Lts. Canfil. Hollenbeck and Van 
Gilder joined the company in France. Frank O. West

dered impossible to correet. 

The following; inipertant explanations are neeessary : 

The Officer nuuihered 7*2. in the Officers* jyoup photograph on 
page 71. wliose mime was omitted through error, is 2d Lieutenant 
George J. Helbing, of DuIukiuc. Iowa. The Officers numl)ered 35 and 
ni. in the same group picture. It has been foiuid impossible to identify 
from the photograph up to the time of going to press. 

Key rosters to accompany the photographs of those companies who 
had tlieir panoramics made at Newport News were not supplied for 
publication in the history. The immediate disintegration of the regi- 
ment after these pictures were taken forestalled the possibility of 
having these i-osters prepared. 

The photograph of Colonel Charles B. Stone, Jr., his personal mili- 
tary history, and his letter to the members of the 350th were not re- 
ceived, owing to his late retiu-n from France, until after the first forms- 
of the book had been printed. Consequently it was impossible to insert 
them in the history according to the sequence they properly should take 
with regard to the date of his service with the regiment. 

Group photographs which were taken at Newport News of the 1st 
and 2d Battalion Intelligence Platoons, and of those members of the 
350th who had received decorations, proved to be failures ; which ex- 
plains their regrettable omission from these pages. 

Through an error in checking proof a paragraph on page 45, which 
recorded the promotion of Colonel Harrison J. Price to the rank of Brig- 
adier General, his subsequent transfer to the 77th Division on October 
24th, 191S, and the as.signment of Colonel Charles B. Stone, Jr., to the- 
command of the 3oOth as his successor, was omitted from the text. Thi& 
unfortunate mistake was not discovered until after that particular sec- 
tion of the liook had been printed. 

The rost(M' of the Regiment by ((impanies. which gives the name, 
rank, and liome .addresses of Ilie men of the 3.~)0th who served in 
France, has been printed from the rosters furnished by the company 
commanders to Regimental Headquarters in May. 1010. shortly before 
the regiment sailed for Ixmie. (ireat care has been taken in checking 
and re-checking these rosters, as here published, to insure their exact. 
duplication of the original company rccoi-ds.

.AlEN : 

Let us all remem])er that we have served our Country in 
the greatest crisis which it has ever been called upon to face, 
and have represented the United States on the battlefields of 
Europe in the greatest war in history ; that while possibly we 
did not win that war ourselves, we contributed our very best to 
winning it and performed the part allotted to us in a soldierly 
manner. 

For a year and a half we were closely knit together to form 
the 350th Infantr}-, of whose record we may all feel proud. Let 
us never forget the long days in the training camps while we 
impatiently awaited the order sending us over seas, the horrors 
of the trenches in Alsace, the mud and the cold of the Menil la 
Tour sector and the w'eary waiting to come back to our own 
country. 

We did our best and did it well. 

But now that it is all over, let us still hold together and 
still serve our Country by striving to uphold the laws and to 
teach the new generations the thing for which we w^ent to 
Europe — the thing for which w'e were ready to lay down our 
lives — for us the greatest thing of all — Americanism.

and toilet articles. 

< >n September l.ltli. witii a mess table for a counter and a few pine 
boards for shelves. 1st lA. Walter W. Cooper. previou.sly experienced in 
canteens, opened for business the ;^;jOth Regimental Exchange. Between 
that date and Nov(>mber 25, 1017, the Exchange had a wandering 
career. Sometimes situated in the kitchen of a vacant barracks, some- 
time^ in a spare and partiall.v completed officers' quarters )>uilding. and 
s(mietimes in an odd corner of a barracks room, it was a movable feast. 

On November 17, 1!J17. Lt. C'ooper was relieved and 2d I^t. Warren 
S. Jamar. of wholesale dry-goods experience, took over the Exchange. 
The new Exchange Building being practically completed, the Exchange 
moved into its permanent home Noveml)er 25th and opened up for 
business November 2(jtli. 

On January 5th the Exchange expanded. A warehouse building 
was remodeled, a tailor shop moved in. and an eleven chair barber 
shop opened up. About $15,000.00 was derived by the regiment from 
the Exchange in its nine months' life, thi.'' sum repi'esenting about 12 
per cent of the gross sales, it being the policy of the Exchange to turn 
a fair stock often at low profit. The l)est month showed about .$21,000.00 
in gross sales on an inventory of $4,000.00.

all officers and men, e.xcept those hereinafter specified, will assemble at 
their respective boat stations. 

(b) One relief of the main guard will man the port rail on the 
hurricane deck under the command of the ( >tficer of the r>ay. 

(c) One relief of the main guard will man the starboard rail of the

(d) The relief of the main guard actually on post, (except sentinels 
on water-tight doors), the special submarine guard and lookouts will stand 
fast at their posts. 

(e) The special gun details will comply with orders of the gun 
commander. 

(f) The Officer of the Day will post a guard at each boat to prevent 
anvone from interfering with the crew and sjiecial details in making the 
boats readv. Life rafts will not be thrown over until the small boats have 
been loaded and cleared from the ship and then only on command of an 
officer (ships or military). 

3. MAX OVERBOARD. 

The alarm signal is the bugle call •'Attention". All will come to 
attention and stand fast. 

4. SMOKlXd. — Smoking during daylight only is permitted on open 
decks. Smoking in berthing spaces is strictly prohibited at all times. 

5. DRIXKIXC, AXD GAMBLIXO. — Drinking and gambling aboard 
ship are strictlv prohibited. 

6. SOUVEXIRS. — The removal of any article from the ship is pro- 
hibited. Company commanders will instruct their men on the order-s on 
this subject as published on Page 15, "Instructions for commanding 
officers of troops aboard ship." 

7. FRESH WATER. — Canteens will be kept filled at all times and 
after the ship enters the "danger zone", will be carried on the person. 
Xo fresh water will be wasted.

11. FIRE. 

The alarm signal is the bugle call ".\ttention", followed by fire call. 

Any^ person discovering fire will make it known quietly and ini- 
mediately to the commanding officer's office from where the bugle will 
sound the call. 

The alarm will not be given by crying, "Fire!" "Fire!" 

Immediately on alarm of fire, the water-tight doors and port-holes 
will be closed. The tighter the shi]) can be closed up the better, as it 
prevents the draft from fanning the flames. 

All on board must understand that on the occurrence of fire, the most 
important and essential thing is silence and order; a quiet waiting for 
orders and a prompt and orderly execution of them.

13 November, 1918. 
MEMORANDUM: To Bn. and Co. Comdrs. and Bn. Gas Officers. 

Last night's bombardment in the vicinity of Balschwiller emphasized 
matters pertaining to wearing of masks and to gas defense that should 
be of utmost consideration to organization commanders before another 
attack. 

1. In spite of orders to the contrary several men removed their 
masks befoi'e ordered to do so by a commissioned officer. When questioned 
they said "The Frenchmen took theirs off, so they knew there was no 
gas." This was a flagrant example of poor discipline and invariably will 
get worse unless severe disciplinary action is taken in such cases. 

2. One man asked a gas officer to loan him some antidim as he had 
none in his satchel. When questioned, it developed that he had not made 
daily inspection of his mask and when he did inspect it, that he had done 
so carelessly. There is a plentiful supply of antidim solution at Regtl. 
Hq. and same should be applied once each week or after each attack. 
Antidim solution is effective only if a thin film is left over the glass. 
Do not rub it off. The time to put antidim on the eye pieces is before 
an attack — it cannot be done during an attack. 

3. Several men were complaining that the nose piece was slipping 
off and wanted to know if there was any way of bending the spring so 
it would grip tighter. These men had not been required to wear their 
mask a weekly total of 4 hours or they would have found and adjusted 
the weak spring on the nose piece. Some of them admitted they had not 
worn their masks since coming to the front. One man was found to have 
tobacco and cigarette papers in his haversack, either one of which might 
easily have stopped the air passage at the bottom of the canister. 

4. It was quite generally practiced upon removing masks to allow 
same to dangle in front of the body. This is not advisable as the face 
piece may easily get torn In the dark and the time saved in adjustment 
does not warrant the risk. Face piece should be replaced in haversack 
at once. 

5. It is obvious that care should be taken that the masks of wounded 
men are kept with them. They should be fastened or tied to the man if 
possible. 

6. The attack was high explosive, and the manner in which men 
repeatedly adjusted respirators upon each renewal of the bombardment 
was commendable. Other parts of the line had a combined high explosive 
and gas attack. It is quite probable that our next attack will come in 
this confusing manner and men should be warned. 

7. Comjiany Commanders are to see that the Gas N. C. O. comes in 
contact with every man in the organization each day. He should go from 
group to group, if the company be separated, seeing that masks are 
properly inspected, that they are worn the required lune each day, and 
giving information and answering questions, etc. He should be respons ble 
for all matters regarding gas in the company and report results of his 
work each day to his company commander. Some Co. Gas N. C. '.» s arc 
commanding platoons and are required to do other work intei-fering with 
gas duties. This is not in compliance with General Orders No. 79 which 
specifically states the "Co. Gas N. C. O's will be rc;lie\ftd of all duties 
which interfere with their duties as gas officers." Companies w'lo are 
not adhering to this order can expect to i>ay the penalty in lax g.xs dis- 
cipline and casualties. 

8. Company Gas N. C. O's will be excused from all other duties in 
their respective companies and will devote their entire time to the instruc- 
tion and inspection work required of them in orders relating to gas 
discipline.

The following General Order of Xovember 12th is telegraphed for

"The enemy has capitulated. It is fitting that I address myself in 
thanks directlv" to the officers and soldiers of the American Expeditionary 
Forces, who bv their heroic efforts have made possible this glorious result. 
Our Armies, hurriedly raised and hastily trained, met a veteran enemy, and 
by courage, discii)line and skill always defeated him. Without complaint 
you have endured incessant toil, privation and danger. You have seen 
many of your comrades make the sui)reme sacrifice that freedom may 
live." I thank you for the patience and courage with which you have 
endured. I congratulate you upon the splendid fruits of victory which 
your heroism and the blood of our gallant dead are now presenting to our 
nation. Your deeds will live forever on the most glorious pages of 
American history. Those things you have done. There remains now a 
harder task which will test your soldierly qualities to the utmost. 
Succeed in this and little note will be taken and few praises sung; fail, 
and the light of your glorious achievements of the past will sadly be 
dimmed. But yoii will not fail. Every natural tendency may urge 
towards relaxation in discipline, in conduct, in appeai-ance. in everything 
that mai-ks the soldier. Yet you will remember that each officer and 
each soldier i.s the representative in Europe of his peojjle and that his 
brilliant deeds of yesterday jjermit no action of today to pass unnoticed 
by friend or foe. You will meet this test as gallantly as you have met 
the tests of the battlefield. Sustained by your high ideals and inspired 
by the heroic jjart you have played, you will carry back to our ])eople 
the proud consciousness of a nev,* Americanism liorn of sacrifice. \Vhether 
you stand on hostile territory or on the friendly soil of France, you will 
so bear yourself in discipline, appearance and resi)ect for all civil rights 
that you will confirm for all time the pride and love which every 
American feels for your unifoim and for you." (Signed) Pershing.

my appreciation of the excellent showing presented by the Brigades at

In general, there was little to criticize and much to praise. 
Considering the circumstances under which the command is placed, 
the condition of clothing and equipment was in all cases satisfactory; 
in the great majority, excellent. 

The condition of the animals and transportation gives evidence of 
much work and painstaking effort. Those responsible for this effort 
deserve the highest commendation. 

Everything about the inspection was in accord with the high standards 
of efficiency alwavs evidenced by the Brigade in all of its work.

comments by higher commanders. 

It is the opinion of the Division Commander and his staff that they 
had not seen any other review in the A. E. F. which was better and 
rarely one so good. 

The Commanding Officer confidently believes that with continued 
interest and effort on the part of each member of the command this

GENERAL ORDERS 
No. 26. 

I. The unexpected hastening home of the Division renders an 
assembly of the entire Command before embarkation practically im- 
possible; likewise, the assembly of the Division in the United States as 
a body, pi'ior to demobilization, is problematical — hence, commendation 
and farewell in written form becomes necessary, rather than a personal 
greeting which would have been preferred. 

II. It was with great pride and gratification that the Division Com- 
mander published the praise accorded the Division by the Commander- 
in-Chief on the occasion of his inspection and review on April 19. 1919, 
in which the Commander-in-Chief states that "THE APPEARANCE AND 
BE.ARIXG OF ALL RANKS WAS CLEAR KVIDEXCE OF THE HIGH 
:M()RALE that permeates your command" and that "EACH 
INDIVIDCAL IX YOL'R COMMAND MAY RIOTi'RN HOME, SATISFIED 
that he has done his full duty and proud that HE HAS 
HAD THE OPPOIITCNITY OF BEING A MEMBER OF ONE OF OUR 
FIGHTING ORGANIZATIONS" and expressing his thanks to "the officers 
and men of the 88th Division for their willing and efficient service since 
they became a part of the American Expeditionary Forces." 

To this may be added, the unstinted praise for the fine appearance, 
morale and record of the 88th Division, as expressed to the Division Com- 
mander by the Honorable Secretary of War, Newton D. Baker, who 
favored us with his presence on this occasion and addressed the Command.

III. The Oorjis Commandor has liUowiso pivon the Division his 
praise, in the fnllowiiiK words: •Till'; IIKIII I )ISCII'T.IXIO A.\l> SOL- 
DIEUI.,Y B10AUI.\<; OF THI': ItlVISKiX I'lO.MoXSTliATIO A HKIH STATK 
OP MOUAI.K AND I Ii-;FI.i:< "I' ClUODIT ll'oX '|'H|<: i:i.I-:.MKXTS OF

MADE rrON THE DIVISlo.N HAS BEEN MET BY THE MOST CHEER- 
FUL RESPONSE AND THE MOST I.OYAE COM I'l.l ANCE." 

IV. To all the above the Division Commander desires to express at 
this time his sincere appreciation of the willing. elHcient, and loyal support 
given him by every otlicer and every man of the Command at all times; 
meeting every emergency in training, and in the field, with that same 
spirit of friendly rivalry in each individual and organization such as to 
inculcate proper pride and esi)rit de corps. 

As you return to your civil pursuits, on the farm, in the counting 
liouse. or in other occupation, your military training will ever remain 
not only a national asset, but an individual one in your i-espect and sub- 
ordination toward employers and also in a just control and direction of 
subordinates. 

The Division Commander regrets the severance of the most agreeable 
relations owing to the termination of your military careers; and desires 
to thank everv officer and man for the constant loyal suijport given him.
